Current usage

A short section of tunnel west of Stobcross was reused as part of the Argyle Line in conjunction with a new tunnel connecting to the Stobcross Railway for eastbound trains.

Between Bowling and Dumbarton Joint Line Junction was electrified in preference to the adjacent Caledonian and Dunbartonshire Junction Railway as part of the North Clyde Line scheme in 1961. The adjacent line was abandoned, apart from a section retained to serve Bowling Oil Terminal, which has since been closed.
