Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

The random article for Friday, 16 June 2023 is Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway.

The Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway was independently sponsored to build along the north of the River Clyde. It opened in 1858, joining with an earlier local line serving Balloch. Both were taken over by the powerful North British Railway in 1865, and for some time the line was the main route in the area. As industry developed other lines were opened to serve it, and the line formed the core of a network in the area.

The line was electrified as part of a modernisation scheme in 1960, and it continues today as the trunk of the North Clyde network west of Glasgow.

This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:19 UTC on Friday, 16 June 2023.
