Jim All buildings on the right gone now. An interesting bit of signage just up the Wemyss Bay line opposite Bogston Station is this: On the overhead view it can be seen that this is just a pedestrian entrance to Bogston station under the Wemyss Bay Branch. Must be some heavy people in that part of Scotland.🙂 I assume it's left from when this was a proper road, but looks very low. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted March 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2023 I suppose that would also fit in Ghosts in the machine, or Wacky signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it used to be Bogston Road, which connected the main road (A8) and the Gibbshill scheme. The weak bridge would have been the one over the Gourock line, beyond the bridge under the Wemyss Bay line in that picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Welly Posted March 30, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2023 ^^ I suspect that HAA's brakes had failed on a loaded run earlier and is being moved from the "cripple" siding for repair somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Probably, judging from the brake's carrying side lamps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMS2968 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Yes, I noticed that too, but I assumed that ambient light was shining through the red shade at the rear. Normally, the engine crew would not see the red shade in daylight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted March 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2023 That side lamp is on the leading end of the brake van, it should be at the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Doesn't matter. It's for the benefit of the enginemen to let them know the train's complete; the tail lamp does that for the bobby. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted March 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2023 Wasn`t it the guards job to change the lenses in the side lamps, depending on which line the train was running? A train, such as that in the photo, would have three red lights, two side and one tail. If the train were signalled onto the slow line or into a goods loop, then the guard would remove the red shade from the lamp adjacent to the fast or main line. If the side lamps were carreied at the front of the van, they may not be fully visible to a train approaching from the rear, such as on right hand curves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Since the lamp with the shade removed was the one closest to the other running line, it would be fully visible. Having the sidelamps at the leading end of the van was quite common. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
