The George Robin Collection of Railway Photographs (selection)
The following is a selected list of subjects from the George Robin Collection of railway photographs, held in the History & Glasgow Room, Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow G3 7DN. George Robin's articles on Scottish branch lines appeared in railway periodicals in the 1950s and early 1960s. The articles and the photographs which accompanied them present a picture of the railways of Scotland at the end of the steam age, immediately before the line closures inaugurated by the Beeching Report The Reshaping of British Railways, published in 1963. This selection includes mainly Great North of Scotland Railway lines, but George Robin's Collection covers the whole of Scotland. For further, fuller information,
