These photographs were taken by The Advocate in 1990 and feature the St. Albans Railway Station when the electrification of the line terminated at the St. Albans Railway Station. In 1991, the station was located on the city side of Main Road West and the level crossing was still in operational. It wasn't until 2012, when the line was fully electrified to Sunbury as part of the Sunbury Electrification Project. The level crossing was removed in 2016 as part of the Victorian Government Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP).The train pictured is a Hitachi Train, or commonly referred to as the Silver Train. They were Melbourne’s iconic stainless‑steel suburban trains, introduced from 1972 and running until 2014. These trains were the last of Victoria's fleet not to have air conditioning, and by the 2000's, they no longer met contemporary safety and accessibility standards. The Hitachi trains had replaced the Harris trains, also referred as the Blue Train or Bluey. The Harris trains were taken out of service because they contained asbestos. One of photographs clearly captures the termination of the "Down Line" at the St. Albans Railway Station.5664.01 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photograph (Advocate 207.2).JPG 5664.02 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photograph (Advocate 207.2).JPGst. albans railway station, main road west, st. albans, hitachi train

These photographs, taken by The Advocate newspaper in 1990, show the former John Darling & Son Flour Mill, now owned by Goodman Fielder, approximately twelve months after its closure. With the mill’s future uncertain, the site has been added to the Victoria's State Register of Historic Buildings. In 1990, the mill and silos were getting ready to be put up for sale.John Darling & Son Flour Mill in Albion is one of the most important industrial heritage sites in Melbourne’s west, a rare, largely intact example of a major early‑20th‑century roller flour mill, and a cornerstone of Sunshine’s transformation into a planned “garden industrial suburb.” These photographs capture the John Darling & Son Flour Mills when they had the stainless-steel silos which have been subsequently demolished. They also capture the Albion Railway Station and its carpark.6814.01 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.02 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.03 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.04 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.05 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.06 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPG 6814.07 - John Darling And Sons Flour Mill Sydney Street Albion 1990 Photographs (Advocate 36.1).JPGjohn darling and sons flour mill, flur mills, albion railway station, sydney street, albion, goodman fielder

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, highlighted the ongoing problems faced by the Department of Transport as trains stored overnight at St Albans Station were repeatedly targeted by vandals tagging carriages, breaking windows, slashing seats, and causing other damage. In response, 2.9‑metre‑high security fencing topped with barbed wire, along with high‑powered spotlights, was installed to protect the yard. St Albans Railway Station has one of the most layered histories of any suburban station in Melbourne’s west, beginning as a speculative land‑development stop in 1887, rebuilt in 1959 to ease traffic congestion, modernised in 2002, and finally transformed into a below‑ground station in 2016 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project.

In response, 2.9‑metre‑high security fencing topped with barbed wire, along with high‑powered spotlights, was installed to protect the yard.These photographs are significant because they document concerns about vandalism on Melbourne's suburban rail network and the measures taken to protect public transport infrastructure. They provide a record of St Albans Station and its rail yards in 1990, illustrating the impact of vandalism on publicly owned assets and the introduction of enhanced security measures, including fencing and lighting, to address the problem. The images offer valuable insight into transport operations, public safety concerns and the changing management of railway infrastructure in Melbourne's western suburbs.6809.01 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 207.2).JPG 6809.02 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 207.2).JPG 6809.03 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 207.2).JPGst. albans railway station, main road west, st. albans
