It's an old railway that has since been removed.

It was a short spur line that ran off from the line that runs between Possil and Gilshochill (pronounced Gilshy-Hill) and terminating as a dead end just north of Panmure Street. It originally served a few industrial buildings that used to be there, but all of it is long gone. The line still appears on some maps AFTER the hospital got built and it looks like the railway might have actually served the hospital at some point as it runs right through what is marked as hospital grounds.

No idea why it get's called "the dummy railway" though.
