The photograph shows VR tram 36 at St Kilda Railway Station with the driver in summer jacket raising the rear trolley pole. The tram displays destination Vautier St, an intermediate terminus about three kms from the station. VR tram 29 is also arriving at the terminus with weather blinds and saloon sunshades raised to shunt over tram 36. Its destination sign is indistinct but appears to be Middle Brighton or Brighton Beach. This movement of multiple shunting was common in the afternoon peak. Up to three trams would depart simultaneously following the arrival of a busy electric train from the city. The first tram would travel limited express to Brighton Beach; the second tram also ran limited express to the intermediate terminus at Middle Brighton; the last tram stopped all stops to Vaitier St, then return to repeat the same run. Also in the photograph is a M&MTB W2 tram in Fitzroy St crossing the VR tracks bound for its Acland St, St Kilda Beach terminus.Yields information about St Kilda Railway Station VR 36, Vr 29, and tram operationsSepia photograph with note on the rear.In ink on the rear " 36,29, &a W2 at M&MTB/VR crossing St Kilda Stn 12-1-54 1035"vr tram, st kilda railway station, weather blinds, middle brighton, tram 36, tram 29, brighton beach, vautier st, limited express, intermediate terminus, m&mtb, w2, fitzroy st, acland st
