Electric Locos on the Glasgow tram system


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 
Having been reading the delightful book ‘Glasgow Trammerung’ I noticed an interesting picture showing a small electric loco hauling a freight train on the system in the Govan area bound for a shipyard.

 

Does anyone have any further information on the locos or the use of freight on the Glasgow system? 
 

many thanks in advance.

It explains why the Glasgow tramways were built to a narrower gauge so that SG railway wagons could run on them to the Clydeside shipyards.  iPad & hand playing up this morning, forgive text errors. Steam pugs also ran on some sections.
