BR loco No. 60031 'Golden Plover' @ Buchanan St. Stn. - Apr 1963 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old amateur photograph of British Railways (BR) steam locomotive No. 60031 'Golden Plover' at Buchanan Street railway station, Glasgow, in Apr 1963. The station closed to passenger traffic in 1966 and was demolished the following year. The photo reverse is annotated with "Glasgow (Buch St) Stn. Eng No 60031 on 1.15 P.M. Dundee train. 6/4/63". There is no name, just indecipherable initials. Old/new overhead maps view:- maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16.5&lat=5... This was an N.
