Summary

Description
English: Bishopton ROF Narrow-Gauge Railway This section of the former MoD facility shows some of the network of narrow-gauge tracks used to transport materials round the site. A private railway junction just north of Bishopton Station provided a standard gauge link with the main line, and this ran the complete circuit of the property. From sidings, components used in the manufacture of propellants were delivered, then transshipped to the extensive narrow-gauge network of tracks that reached almost every building and bunker on the site. This area formed part of the former Royal Ordnance Factory at Bishopton. BAE Systems now operate this site and are preparing it for a gradual handover to civilian use. With thanks to BAE Site Remediation for access.
