Back o' Loch Halt, Kirkintilloch.
This railway halt in Kirkintilloch disappeared a long time ago. It went with the Beeching railway cuts of the 1960s. It was between Lenzie and Kirkintilloch stations and the line extended to Aberfoyle in the Trossachs, via Lennoxtown and Strathblane. The new Kirkintilloch bypass has now gone over it. The halt was just off the Industry Street bridge and tunnel and there were paths on both sides of the tracks leading to it. The Woodhead Park is over the embankment on the right of the photograph.
Here's how it looked recently before the new link road was built:
