Geocache Description:

Parking during the week – “May heaven help you”. At the week end “Stop for a dram”. This cache could be the start or the end of a sequence of caches along the route. Cache: film canister.

The line was built as an extension of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway's Campsie Branch. The line ran from Lennoxtown (leaving the original terminus as a short branch used for goods) to Killearn station. Killearn station was renamed Dumgoyne when the line was continued by the Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway to join the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. The line became an essential part in the services from Glasgow to Aberfoyle. Typically the branch had a service to Blanefield station from Glasgow and a steam railcar service from Blanefield on to Aberfoyle. Local freight mostly consisted delivery of coal to the local housing. http://www.railscot.co.uk/Blane_Valley_Railway/frame.htm
