However the line ran a considerable distance from the river until it reached Bowling, and the intervening area was for the time being undeveloped. </p><p>At the time, industry was concentrated in the city and the berthing of ships took place at the Broomielaw. Larger berthing facilities were needed, and the Clyde Commissioners constructed a new dock at Stobcross; it opened in 1877, and was called <i>The Queen's Dock</i>. By this time the <a href="/wiki/North_British_Railway" title="North British Railway">North British Railway</a> (NBR) had taken over the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway, and the NBR built a line to the dock. The <a href="/wiki/Stobcross_Railway" title="Stobcross Railway">Stobcross Railway</a> opened in 1874, for goods and mineral traffic only. The Stobcross line ran in a wide sweep round the north of Glasgow through Maryhill, then a remote rural town, and then south and south-east through Partick, where there was a goods station. </p><p>Also in 1874 the <a href="/wiki/Whiteinch_Railway" title="Whiteinch Railway">Whiteinch Railway</a> opened; this was also a goods-only railway, running from the Stobcross line south to a Whiteinch goods station on the Dumbarton Road. This was built to support a small enclave of industry that had built up in the area, which was otherwise remote.<sup id="cite_ref-paterson_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-paterson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Clydebank">Clydebank</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Glasgow,_Yoker_and_Clydebank_Railway&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Clydebank"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In July 1872 the Clyde Trustees evicted the Govan shipyard of <a href="/wiki/J_%26_G_Thomson" class="mw-redirect" title="J & G Thomson">J & G Thomson</a>, and the company established a new yard downstream on the other bank at what became Clydebank.
