Night time flash-lit photograph taken from under a nearby shop verandah shows W2 class tram 244 just arrived at a wet Elgar Road terminus. One passenger hurries away from the tram in the rain while others in the front saloon stand to exit. The destination sign reads "Camberwell Depot, 70", the trolley poles are you to be reset and the last of three off-side weather blinds is being lowered. An advertisement for local radio station 3AW and presenter Derryn Hinch is fixed to the side of the tram. Camberwell Depot operated the Wattle Park line and was allocated a full fleet of Z class trams over 1978-79 because it serviced the neighbouring newly extended East Burwood line that opened in 1978.Yields information about replacement of W class trams with Z class cars, and Camberwell Depot.Black and white print with note on rear.In ink on rear: "M&MTB KS Kings 177-30 Copyright reserved.
