| Comment | Steam trains are the reason why Queen St low level has two open-air sections at either side of the platform. Back when the low level was four tracks wide (incidentally, that's why low level's platforms are so wide, they cover the outer two tracks) those sections had the water tanks and coal bunkers for refuelling.
Even with the open air parts, the smog from the trains must have been hellish. Though probably not much worse than the air in Glasgow in general at that time, really. |
