Melbourne Tram MuseumPhotograph - New run out track Essendon Depot, Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board MMTB or VicRail or Ministry of Transport, Sept 1960
... New run out track Essendon Depot......Essendon Depot...Photograph shows the laying of a new northern exit/entry road for Essendon Depot. Grooved tramway rail and turnouts are in place supported by timber sleepers. ...Melbourne Tram Museum 8 Wallen Road Hawthorn melbourne Photograph shows the laying of a new northern exit/entry road for Essendon Depot. Grooved tramway rail and turnouts are in place supported by timber sleepers. ...Photograph shows the laying of a new northern exit/entry road for Essendon Depot. Grooved tramway rail and turnouts are in place supported by timber sleepers. Part of the footpath and a section roadway on Mt Alexander Road are excavated for these works. Three workmen in civilian clothes are tightening tie bars; W2 class tram 552 has cleared the new works bound for Essendon Aerodrome route 59 with weather blinds down; three motor vehicles are shown in the distance, two with the distinctive shape of a Holden. The high fence and tennis court opposite the depot are part of a Catholic convent and teachers college. Records suggest the date is September 1960 when the single northern exit/entry track to the southbound line was replaced with this double track. Until this time, a separate crossover provided a connection to the northbound line. This new arrangement meant that trams running out or in from the northbound track no longer had to negotiate a crossover, thus reducing motor traffic congestion. The obsolete crossover was removed. It is likely that in the following days mass concrete was used to rebuild the roadway. As tramway rail with a flangeway was no longer produced in Australia from the 1960s, railway-type rail without a flangeway was used instead and the flangeway provided by a groove in the concrete. This photograph is likely an official M&MTB photograph.Yields information about Essendon Depot and track improvements c1960 Black and white photographs with no note on rear. official m&mtb photograph, essendon depot, exit road, mt alexander road, tie bars, w2 class, 552, weather blinds, essendon aerodrome, route 59, holden, catholic convent, teachers college, crossover, turnout, mass concrete, railway type rail, flangeway -
