Hello gallowgategal,this is a tough one because this area has changed so much since 1969.In the background of the picture you can see the two tower blocks at whitevale and bluevale streets,so a guess would be the photo was taken where Sword Street meets Brandon Street/Comelypark Street possibly.
Cheers Mustang!

Hi Mustang, I think photo taken from Annfield st, I'm sure Annfield st was "L" shaped and ran from the Gallowgate on to Sword st. Brandon st ran from Annfield st to Bellgrove st.

Excellent set,Mustang.
The pic of Sheilds Jcn could be 1979,for I'm sure thats the Cl303 unit that was involved in the Gilmour St crash.Got the DOT accident report.

Hello Doog Doog,your knowledge on all things about local trains is spot on as usual.I found another picture from this tragic incident dated easter holiday special 1979.From looking at the first picture and then the second one,it does look like the same train.

Hello Sue

Glad you could come and tune in - the site is brill - there should be a link from Facebook, get more members much like Hidden Glasgow for even their Facebook Page contains a few nuggets

Good Idea?? It could reach many more potential members
