 its location is thought to be at the Dumfries Road bridge.The authorising Acts of Parliament of 1846 and 1847 had confirmed that the GD&CR would merge with the GPK&AR on completion of the GD&CR line; in fact the GPK&AR as senior partner absorbed the GD&CR, and changed its name to the Glasgow & South Western Railway.On 28 October 1850 therefore, the Glasgow and South Western railway started its existence, and the GD&CR was dissolved.
