The Box on Nitshill Road on the strip of Tram rail easement between Nitshill Road and Kylerhea Road just northwest of Kyleakin Road in Arden - G56.

This photo was taken some time before the last day of Tram service for Route 14, which was 31 October 1959 --

A blowup --

Interesting that it looks to be in such bad condition less than six years after it was erected.
