Photograph looks south along Barkly St, St Kilda at the intersection of Mitford and Blessington Sts. A Victorian Railways single truck combination car with cross bench trailer is travelling northward, bound for its St Kilda Station terminus. The original 1906 tramway from St Kilda Station to Brighton Beach was single track with a double shunt at the station and six passing loops. By 1914 the northern half of this line from the station to the Elwood Depot was duplicated. This dates the photograph to before 1914.Yields information about the VR Brighton Beach lineBlack and white photograph with title below photograph and nothing on rear.

Photograph shows a large crowd of well dressed men and women looking away from the camera toward two crowded electric tramcars as a man on one of the trams delivers a speech. The occasion is likely the opening ceremony of the Victorian Railways Electric Street Railway between St Kilda Railway Station and Brighton Beach Railway Station on 5 May 1906. The man speaking is likely Premier Thomas Bent (later Sir Thomas). One tram is a combination car; the other an open cross bench trailer car carrying a brass band. These and most of the new fleet would be destroyed in the depot fire in 1907. The background beyond the trams is indistinct.Yields information about beginnings of Victorian Railways Electric Street Railway Black and white photograph with note on rear.Note on rear in stamp ink reads: "State ....city Commission Victoria, Publicity Photo, Permission to publish must be obtained and acknowledgment made, Negative No 9/275, Publicity Branch, 15 William Street, Melbourne"opening ceremony, premier thomas bent, victorian railways electric street railway, st kilda railway station and brighton beach railway station, 5 may 1906, combination car, open cross bench trailer car, brass band, depot fire in 1907
