King Street, Paisley Looking south east from the junction with McKenzie Street and Blackstoun Road, towards the railway bridge.
Blackstoun Road from the air The bridge carried the 'Dummy Railway'. On the outskirts of Ferguslie Park.
Blackstoun Road railway bridge The bridge was built for the long gone Paisley and Barrhead District Railway line (known locally as the Dummy Line). It was used as recently as the 1980s as a spur for the car factory at Linwood which closed at that time. Prior to the car factory, it also served as a spur for the Pressed Steel factory at Linwood which produced the 'blue trains' (Class 303), which were the first electric trains for the north and south Clyde lines in the 1960s.
South Candren farm can be seen through the bridge.
