Calderpark Halt railway station

The halt was opened by the British Transport Commission to serve Glasgow Zoo in 1951[1] on the Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway route by Mrs Cameron wife of British Railway's Chief Regional Officer for the area.

[3] The route was also known as the London and North Eastern Railway's Hamilton Branch.

The halt had a name board that read 'Calderpark for the Zoo', had electric lighting, two concrete platforms with simple brick built shelters and toilets on the northern side with sloping concrete roofing on a double track section of track standing just to the west of the North Calder Viaduct.

The remains of the halt on the dismantled line are shown with two shelters on the south side of the line in a low cutting just off Baillieston Road.

[4] Glasgow Zoo closed in 2003 and eventually the buildings were demolished and replaced by a housing estate (part of Broomhouse).
