Getting A Free Lift By The Bedley Coal Train

A Memory of Glenboig.

Does anyone remember jumping onto the Bedley coal train (at Marnoch) for a free ride? The guard in the last carrage would be shouting abuse at us and trying to poke you with a long pole. The train would stop at Glenboig village (wee shop) for the driver to open the railway crossing gates. This was when we made our escape and headed off to primary school.
PS. There is some old photos at www.glenboig.com
