Glawegians were hit with a day of travel chaos, damage and disruption after Storm Isha battered the country overnight.
The havoc is expected to continue into Wednesday as the country braces for Storm Jocelyn, the second severe weather system to hit the UK this week.
A possible threat to life warning was issued by the Met Office from Sunday night to Monday morning as the ninth storm of the season swept across the city with powerful gales and torrents of rain.
Train services were plagued with cancellations and delays as Network Rail engineers cleared debris from routes across the city.
Between Garrowhill and Easterhouse at least 10 trees toppled onto overhead lines causing hours of repair work.
The crumpled remains of a garden shed were pictured in an overturned heap on the line at Bellgrove in the East End.
Around 10am Queen Street Station was described as a "ghost town" by one commuter after the boundary wall and fence of an adjacent building crashed onto the railway line at the lower level.
Network Rail was forced to secure a track machine to shift the debris due to its substantial weight and precarious position.
Meanwhile, passengers attempting to journey south on Avanti services at Central Station were forced to queue around Union Street as they waited for trains to resume.
Standing inside the frigid station around 10am, Kim Wilson, 55, told the Glasgow Times of her desperate need to get to London for a hospital appointment on Monday.
She had been waiting with her partner Nicholas Ronaldi for over an hour after being notified by a travel app that the train would be going ahead.
Kim said: "I'm going to London tomorrow for surgery. I need to get there. I'm really concerned.
"We've been in the queue for a while now and I'm freezing. I'm not well and I need to be in the hospital tomorrow."
Her partner Nicholas, 51, added: "We left Ayr this morning and got the bus up to here - which was delayed as well.
"We left there hoping that the train was going. We've been here for over an hour, since about 9am."
Pictures from the scene showed dozens of windswept travellers clutching luggage and hoping for the best as they waited for services to resume.
Network Rail revealed on Monday afternoon that all train services would be suspended again across Scotland from 7pm on Tuesday until after the morning rush hour on Wednesday in anticipation of Storm Jocelyn.
Holidaymakers hoping to catch a flight at Glasgow Airport were warned to check with individual airlines in case adverse conditions caused delays or cancellations.
It comes after flights into Glasgow and Edinburgh were forced to divert in the windstorm on Sunday night with some ending up as far afield as Paris.
In other parts of the city, trees were uprooted amid gales of up to 80km per hour. The back windscreen of a taxi parked in Shawlands was shattered by a falling tree.
Several trees in Glasgow Green were torn from the ground, dislodging chunks of earth as they lay in broken heaps around the park.
Police Scotland to warn drivers not to travel amid short-notice road closures, localised flooding and other issues caused by the storm.
Glasgow City Council advised that all schools were open as normal on Monday except Carmunnock Primary School due to damage on the roof. Families of those attending the Southside primary were contacted directly.
Five stores in one area of Glasgow Fort were closed as a precautionary measure: Beaverbrooks, Specsavers, H Samuel, Hotel Chocolat and Superdry.
Topgolf Glasgow suffered significant weather damage with nets at its driving range tattered by strong winds. An update on the venue's reopening date is expected in due course.
Elsewhere, gusts ripped through Ibrox Stadium, tearing signage and toppling a nearby advertisement hoarding.
A yellow weather warning is in place with Storm Jocelyn set to bring more heavy rain and powerful wind.
Steve Willington, Met Office chief meteorologist, said: “Although this system will be a step down relative to Storm Isha, with the damage and clean up still underway, we could potentially see more impacts from Storm Jocelyn."
