The Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway (C&DJR) was a Scottish railway opened in 1850 between Bowling and Balloch via Dumbarton. The company had intended to build to Glasgow but it could not raise the money. Other railways later reached Dumbarton, and the C&DJR was taken over by the larger Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway in 1862. It later became simply a branch of the larger North British Railway network. When the rival Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway proposed a line to Balloch running close nearby, agreement was reached to make part of the former C&DJR line jointly owned, and this was done in 1896, forming the Dumbarton and Balloch Joint Railway. Most of the original C&DJR line continues in use at the present day. Important note: the spelling ''Dumbartonshire'' was consistently used in official documentation in the nineteenth century, notwithstanding the later use of ''Dunbartonshire'' for the county.〔H C Casserley, ''Britain's Joint Lines'', Ian Allan Ltd, Shepperton, 1968, ISBN 0 7110 0024 7〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
