Easter Monday Drag

After a bit of an anxious wait the cloud cleared over Hyndland just in time for 37884 passing with 320307 in tow. The pair were running as 5Q08 from Yoker to Brodie Engineering in Kilmarnock where the 320 would undergo TBOX work.

 

The building overlooking the railway is part of the expansive Gartnavel Hospital site. This large 1840's building housed the Gartnavel Royal Hospital which focuses on psychiatric care and treatment. This facility was expanded in 2007 through the construction of a more modern building on the same site.

 

Most of the 1840's building is still in use with the NHS and offers a range administrative facilities alongside continued use by psychiatric patients. However, the section of the building most visible in this image is the East Wing which has fallen into disrepair and has subsequently been added to the buildings at risk register.
