In the pioneer days of railway he worked with Thomas Brassey on the construction of the Glasgow to Greenock railway (1838). He then joined Joseph Locke working on the Paris to Rouen railway (1841). He was subsequently involved in the Rouen to Le Havre line, Nantes to Caen, and Caen to Cherbourg. Continuing on construction in Britain, France and Italy in 1865 he took over the construction of the Glasgow City Union Railway, working on this project until 1871. This included building a railway bridge over the River Clyde and working with the Clyde Trustees regarding new quays linking to the railway: Plantation Quay and Mavisbank Quay.[1][2]
