The bridge in the foreground was a freight line. The Pinkston Road bridge can be seen behind it.

From the map you posted earlier, you can see the freight line. It came off the
original Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway which crossed Springburn Road further
south of the line at St Rollox. It also crossed over the Queen St mainline and
connected to the branch at Sighthill.

James is spot on ..the tunnel exists just next to where Broomhill is marked and the station is the rectangle next to St Rollox works

The picture of the steps leading down to the tunnel is strange... of all the pictures I've seen of the tunnel in use and just shut down, there was no steps. They appear to be fairly recent additions

They area had been partially landscaped (filled in) years back.   A girder bridge
carrying Dobbies Loan had been removed after the station was closed.

That pic was some time shortly after closure. Click here to see
how much landfill has taken place.
