- Garnkirk_and_Glasgow_Railway abstract "The Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway was an early railway built primarily to carry coal to Glasgow and other markets from the Monkland coalfields, shortening the journey and by-passing the monopolistic charges of the Monkland Canal; passenger traffic also developed early in the line's existence.It opened officially on 27 September 1831 using horse traction, and had the track gauge of 4 ft 6 in that had been adopted by the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway, with which it was to connect.It was dependent on the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway for access to the best areas of the coalfields, but eventually it by-passed this constraint by extending its line southwards through Coatbridge, enabling a direct link with another coal railway, the Wishaw and Coltness Railway. Widening its horizons it changed its name to The Glasgow, Garnkirk and Coatbridge Railway.The track gauge originally chosen was now a limitation and it altered its gauge to the standard of 4 ft 8½ in. When the Caledonian Railway advanced on Glasgow, the Glasgow, Garnkirk and Coatbridge provided a ready-made access route, and the Caledonian company purchased the Garnkirk line.Most of its original route remains open today.".
