20191228 Cumbernauld-Boness Diesel Gala-Camelon
A bit of everything in this video...
On 28th December 2019, I first travelled to Cumbernauld to see several early morning freights, unfortunately, one was cancelled and one ran early, so I only managed one video at this location.
Next I travelled to the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway for the lines' annual winter diesel gala, where the guest loco was DRS class 66, 66426 which ran in conjunction with some of the lines own locos, 26038; 37067 & 47643, as well as the class 126 dmu.
Not resting on my laurels, I then travelled to Camelon to video a couple of freights at that location, including 4S49, which was the second time I'd seen it that day (also seen at Cumbernauld).
All in all, a good day and can I extend my thanks to the volunteers of the SRPS Diesel Group for another splendid gals. :-)

history of the land
The first known settlement on the site of what is now Kirkintilloch was of Roman origin, a fort established in what is now the Peel Park area of the town in the mid-2nd century, one of the northernmost posts in Roman Britannia.[9] Through it the Antonine Wall was routed; its course continues through the centre of the town to this day, although little trace can now be seen above ground. There are many archeological artifacts found in Kirkintilloch on display at the Hunterian Museum[10] in Glasgow. There is no strong evidence of habitation on the site for the following thousand years until Clan Cumming established a castle (Motte and Bailey) and church there in the 12th century. A small settlement grew and was granted burgh status in 1211, becoming an important staging post for west-east journeys from Glasgow to eastern and north-eastern Scotland. From this time, a weekly market was held in the town, probably at the foot of Peel Brae (along with High Street and Cowgate, one of the three medieval thoroughfares in the town). The castle was of some importance during the wars of independence when an English garrison was stationed there, commanded by Sir Philip de Moubray, who was later to command Stirling Castle at the time of the Battle of Bannockburn. Soldiers from the castle were dispatched to arrest William Wallace at Robroyston in 1305 and escorted him to Dumbarton Castle. Later the same year, the garrison is recorded as having sent a petition to King Edward of England complaining of non-payment of wages. The castle was attacked by Scottish forces in 1306 under Bishop Wishart of Glasgow (using timber given to Glasgow diocese by the English for cathedral repairs), but the siege was unsuccessful. The castle is thought to have been destroyed on the orders of Robert Bruce later in the conflict, although the traces of a mot surrounded by a ditch can still be seen in the Peel Park.
The original Cumming parish church, St Ninian's, was constructed around 1140 some distance to the east of the town (where some of the stones remain in the form of an 18th-century watchtower at the entrance to the Auld Aisle Cemetery) as Kirkintilloch was originally in the parish of Lenzie which stretched from Cumbernauld in the East to Kirkintilloch in the West. The establishment was part of the endowment of Cambuskenneth Abbey, and was accompanied by a grant of one oxgang of land (approximately 15 acres), the measurement that lent its name to the area near the church. A chapel to the Virgin Mary was established in the town itself, sometime before 1379, and was endowed with land at Duntiblae by Sir David Fleming. The move of the parish church to the site of the chapel at Kirkintilloch Cross (now the Auld Kirk Museum) in 1644 resulted in a split of the Parish into Easter and Wester Lenzie (later Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch Parishes) The name Lenzie was later reused for Kirkintilloch's railway station on the main Glasgow to Edinburgh line, around which the later village of that name developed.Following the Scottish victory in the wars of independence and the subsequent decline of Clan Cumming, the baronies of Kirkintilloch, Lenzie, and Cumbernauld were granted by Robert Bruce to Sir Malcolm Fleming, Sheriff of Dumbarton and a supporter of the Bruce faction in the war. Hitherto part of Stirlingshire, the area subsequently became a detached part of the county of Dumbarton, in which it remains today
On 3 January 1746, the retreating Jacobite army of Charles Stuart made its way through Kirkintilloch, on its way back from Derby, and on the march to Falkirk and ultimately Culloden. One of the Highland army's stragglers was shot dead at the town cross by a man hidden in a barn at the Kiln Close (where the library now stands). On hearing of the murder, Charles halted his army on the Kilsyth road and threatened to turn back and burn the town. The town magistrates persuaded him to continue marching, in return for an unspecified payment, and the town was spared.The town was one of the hotbeds of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland, beginning with the emergence of a booming textile industry in the area. There were 185 weavers in Kirkintilloch by 1790, and in 1867 James Slimon's cotton mill at Kelvinside employed 200 women.With the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal through the town
Forgotten Stations - St Enoch Station, Glasgow
Please watch: The abandoned Eurostar
--~--
St Enoch station was a mainline railway station in the city of Glasgow, Scotland between 1876 and 1966. It was demolished in 1977. The hotel was the first building in Glasgow to be fitted out with electric lighting.
Located on St Enoch Square in the city centre, it was opened by the City of Glasgow Union Railway in 1876. The first passenger train stopped there on 1 May 1876 and the official opening took place on 17 October 1876.
In 1883 it was taken over by the Glasgow and South Western Railway (G&SWR) and it became their headquarters.[2] Services ran to most parts of the G&SWR system, including Ayr, Dumfries, Carlisle, Kilmarnock and Stranraer. In partnership with the Midland Railway, through services also ran to England, using the Settle and Carlisle Railway from Carlisle to Leeds, Sheffield, Derby and London St Pancras.
It was the site of a rail crash in 1903 in which 16 passengers were killed and 64 injured when a train overran the buffers. In the 1923 grouping it was taken over and then operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. After the nationalisation of the United Kingdom rail network, the station was run by British Railways.
The suburban service to East Kilbride was diverted to St Enoch in 1959, when all but three services were dieselised. The diversion was said to be necessary to reduce the numbers of trains at Glasgow Central.[3]
Model of station at the Glasgow Museum of Transport
The former St. Enoch Station Clock at the Antonine Centre in Cumbernauld.
It was a large station with 12 platforms and two impressive semi-cylindrical glass/iron roofed train sheds. The station was closed on 27 June 1966 as part of the rationalisation of the railway system undertaken by the British Railways Board chairman Dr. Richard Beeching; upon closure its 250 trains and 23,000 passengers a day were diverted to Central. The roofs of the structure were demolished, despite protests, in 1977. The clock that was suspended from the roof of the station was saved from destruction and is now on display in Cumbernauld Town Centre.
The St Enoch Hotel which fronted the station was also demolished in 1977.
New Town (1959)
Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
C/U of a sign which reads: Buses Only - No Entry for Other Vehicles. Pan down to show the modern architecture of the town centre. Over shots of the the bus pulling into a stop the narrator explains how the new town's principle of not allowing cars into town leads to a refreshing lack of traffic congestion. Shot of the free car park - shoppers can leave their cars here and travel into the town centre by bus.
Various shots of the shopping centre of the new town. Narrator observes: Wherever one turns the outlook is gay and eye-catching - it all looks rather grey and concrete bound really. C/Us of a sculpture in the town centre - Franta Belsky's (sp?) Joyride. Continental kiosks contain colourful posters, a grandma shows her two young grandchildren. They walk around the kiosk which is covered with posters advertising idyllic countryside holiday destinations. This seems slightly ironic in the centre of what is supposed to be the greatest environment in the modern world.
M/S of woman in a headscarf pushing a pram. Low angle of the street lighting. Various shots of shoppers walking through the town centre. C/Us of flowers in tubs and of details of architecture. Narrator talks of the spaciousness of the new town and compares it with the cramped back streets of many ordinary towns. The rural look of Stevenage has been retained (apparently) by leaving many of the original trees apparently growing out of the concrete. Woman lifts her bike out of a bicycle rack - C/U of the rack - probably an innovative design at the time. C/U of the town fountain and various shots of the clock tower and houses. Narrator ends by saying Here, then, is the design for living of the future. A town planned down to the last nail - planned to be lived in, by eighty thousand of the citizens of tomorrow.
Note: great for showing the big hopes held for the new towns. The place may look soulless but I like it!

British Great Western Railway On the Road
In recent years, many train companies have launched some very artistic marketing activities or works. For example, the French train company S NCF has launched an impressionist-themed train with the Orsay Museum, and the Tokai Railway Company of Japan has created 15 artists. GIF collection. Today, this short film comes from the Great Western Railways (GWR). In order to market its 270 destinations, it has teamed up with director Pete Candeland, animator Paul Tempelman and Steve Beck to borrow the British national treasure writer. Enid Brighton’s most famous adventure “Five Partners” produced this great ad. But really, I didn’t see enough, just an animation (small expectation)~
