This photographic copy of an older photo shows a tram track laying gang in an unnamed street. While the inscription describes these men as a the Victorian Railways McKenzie gang, the freshly installed tramway rail with flangeways and the completed tramway track on the adjacent roadway suggest one of two explanations. Perhaps they were diverted from their usual work of laying railway track; or the photographer was mistaken in his description. This street scene may be in Melbourne or in one of Victoria's three regional cities of Ballarat, Bendigo or Geelong where extensive electric tramways were constructed between 1900 and the 1930s.Yields information about early tramway construction.Black and white photograph with inscription on photograph and one word on rear.On front: 'McKenzie Gang Victorian Railways [sic] ????'; on rear: 'Victoria'.victorian railways, mckenzie gang, tramway rail, flangeways, diverted from their usual work, melbourne, ballarat, bendigo, geelong, 1900, 1930s
