I’m not a great fan of artificially colourised postcards, but sometimes they are done quite well and worth showing. This certainly is one of the better ones. I’ve scanned it in a fairly good resolution.
Pictured in 1912, is Blantyre Station looking down the line towards Glasgow. These buildings are all now demolished, but the road bridge in the background remains.
On social media:
David Downie It still looked like that in the 50’s when my family used iot to go places.
Archie Peat Not quite like that David , note that it has a single track in 1912 , by the 50s it had acquired a double track !!!
David Bates Looks like a double track on the postcard Archie, you just can’t see the outer rails of each line due to shadoes/platform.
The Blantyre Project to clarify, David is correct. Blantyre always has had a double line in either direction. The postcard does look like an illusion, with the platform hiding one of the edges of the rails.
