Graham Engineer of Line Railway Map (Graham's) William Beattie, Clerk R. Bankier Stat: [Station] Master, Steps Time Table. 006.08 This name (Glasgow & Garnkirk Station) is seemingly Known to the Officials of the Caledonian Railway only. In Time Tables the name is given as the "Caledonian". The Garnkirk or "Glasgow & Garnkirk Railway" extended to Whifflet in Old Monkland Ph [Parish]. There is a branch to St Rollox from Milton, which is the original line of the "Glasgow & Garnkirk Railway". That from Milton to Glasgow is commonly called the "Glasgow Extension" by the Railway authorities. Mr Graham the Engineer considered the "Extension" superfluous, as it was made by the Cal: Co: [Caledonian Company] & consequently is the "Cal: Railway" [Caledonian Railway]. The "Glasgow & Garnkirk Railway" is the name according to the "Act of Parliament" & the Caledonian Co. [Company] hold it in lease from the Co. [Company] by whom it was made. See Name Sheets of Cadder Parish.
