These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, feature Bernard Rielly at Ardeer Railway Station highlighting concerns that the listed Met Ticket sales outlets for the station were incorrect.The images document a local transport issue affecting railway passengers and reflect community efforts to address inaccuracies in public transport information. They provide a valuable record of Ardeer Railway Station and the challenges faced by commuters during the early years of Melbourne's Met Ticket system, illustrating the importance of accurate passenger information in the operation of the public transport network.6781.01 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPG 6781.02 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPG 6781.03 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPG 6781.04 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPG 6781.05 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPG 6781.06 - Ardeer Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 65.1).JPGardeer railway station, forrest street, ardeer

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1988, feature Deer Park Railway Station at the intersection of Station Road and Railway Parade, Deer Park. The images depict the station during an era when diesel-powered trains operated on the line and the station retained the appearance and facilities of a typical semi-rural railway station. By the 1980s and 1990s, the station's ageing infrastructure and limited passenger facilities attracted increasing public and media attention as Deer Park and surrounding suburbs experienced significant population growth. These photographs formed part of a sustained media and residents campaign urging the State Government and the Department of Transport to finally upgrade Deer Park’s facilities. The station originally opened as Kororoit Railway Station on 2 April 1884 as part of the Serviceton railway line. Early facilities included a passenger platform, goods platform, three-road yard and an interlocked signal box, with the station serving as a crossing loop on the then single-track railway. It was renamed Deer Park Railway Station on 3 December 1889, reflecting the growing identity of the district. More than a century later, the original station was completely rebuilt as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. The new elevated Deer Park Station opened on 24 April 2023, replacing the historic ground-level station and marking a major transformation of the local transport network.These photographs are significant for documenting Deer Park Railway Station prior to its redevelopment and provide a valuable record of a railway facility that served the community for more than 130 years. They capture the station during a period when it retained many characteristics of a traditional country-style railway station, reflecting the area's transition from a semi-rural district to a growing suburban centre. The photographs have added historical value because they document the original station before its demolition and replacement as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project in 2023. As such, they provide evidence of a now-lost piece of transport infrastructure and the changing character of Melbourne's western suburbs.6849.01 - Deer Park Railway Station 1988 Photographs (Advocate 514.2).JPG 6849.02 - Deer Park Railway Station 1988 Photographs (Advocate 514.2).JPG 6849.03 - Deer Park Railway Station 1988 Photographs (Advocate 514.2).JPG 6849.04 - Deer Park Railway Station 1988 Photographs (Advocate 514.2).JPG 6849.05 - Deer Park Railway Station 1988 Photographs (Advocate 514.2).JPGdeer park railway station, deer park, station road, railway parade

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, feature St Albans Railway Station, an important transport hub that has played a central role in the suburb’s growth and development. St Albans Railway Station possesses one of the most layered histories of any suburban station in Melbourne’s west. Originally established in 1887 as part of a speculative land-development venture, the station evolved alongside the rapid growth of the surrounding community. It was substantially rebuilt in 1959 to alleviate increasing road traffic congestion, modernised in 2002 to improve passenger facilities, and underwent its most significant transformation in 2016 when it was rebuilt below ground as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. These successive redevelopments reflect changing patterns of urban development, transport planning, and public infrastructure investment in Melbourne’s western suburbs over more than a century. These photographs are historically and socially significant as a record of St Albans Railway Station in 1990, documenting an important transport hub that has played a central role in the growth and development of St Albans and Melbourne's western suburbs. They provide evidence of the station prior to major redevelopment works and contribute to an understanding of changing transport infrastructure, urban expansion, and community life in the region.6836.01 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 473.3).JPG 6836.02 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 473.3).JPG 6836.03 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 473.3).JPG 6836.04 - St. Albans Railway Station 1990 Photographs (Advocate 473.3).JPGst. albans railway station, main road west, st. albans

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

The Tottenham Yard began as a modest goods yard supporting local industries in Braybrook, Tottenham, and West Footscray, the Sunshine industrial belt and the nearby munitions and explosives factories Key features of the early yard included a small number of sidings, a goods shed, a basic loading / unloading facilities and a connection to the Tottenham triangle (Sunshine–Footscray–North Melbourne junction). As the yard expanded with additional siding and larger marshalling areas, there was a requirement to maintain the Ashley Street North – South access route for private and commercial travel. The work involved to solve this problem was to elevate the railway yard and place Ashley Street through a tunnel. This railway underpass for many years was simply known as the Ashley Street Tunnel. By the 1970s, the Tottenham Yard had become one of the largest freight yards in Victoria, second only to Dynon. In the 1982, the level crossing gates at the southern end of tunnel were removed, the tunnel extended southwards and the former Tottenham Railway Station was replaced with an elevated one above the new tunnel extension. During these works the road surface level was lowered to allow for higher trucks to pass through. At this point of time, the reference to tunnel was replaced with underpass. During the 1990’s and 2000’s, there was a decline in the use of the Tottenham Yard and many sidings were removed, shorten, converted to storage or left unused. Today the yard is used for wagon storage, crew changes, light shunting and providing access to the Tottenham triangle and Sunshine corridor.These photographs were taken shortly after the tunnel was completed.5335.01 - Ashley Street Railway Underpass Looking North Photo 01.jpg 5335.02 - Ashley Street Railway Underpass Looking South Photo 02.jpgashley street, railway line, tottenham

These two photos relate to the very early days of the Bairnsdale-Orbost railway, constructed 2012-2016. One photograph (2696.1) shows a train and construction gang at a ballast quarry, possibly at Newmerella), dated c.1915. The other photograph (2696.2) is of one of the first trains ever to come to Orbost. This happened in early 1916. The construction and opening of the Orbost railway was a major event in the development of Orbost and East Gippsland, resulting in huge development of farming and timber industries. This railway functioned between 1916 until 1987.These photographs are significant because they relate to the construction of the Orbost Railway. Two b/w postcards. Both photos have been pasted onto a rough cardboard background. 2696.1 is a rectangular photograph showing a steam train and wagons in a cutting, and a number of workmen in the foreground, along with a railway line. 2696.2 is an oval shaped photograph of a steam engine in a turned around position and attached to several passenger carriages. The words The First Special to Orbost is written in white ink on the bottom of the photo.2696.2 The First Special to Orbostrailways, orbost railways, first passenger train

These three photos were taken at the time of the opening of the Orbost Railway (Bairnsdale-Orbost) in 1916. This was an extremely important and much anticipated event for this remote community In East Gippsland, Victoria. This railway was constructed 1912-1916, and functioned until 1987. It was a 'developmental' railway line, constructed to encourage and promote development in this region which suffered from extremely poor transport and lack of access to markets.These photographs are significant because they are a record of an extremely important event in the history of Orbost, ie. the opening of the railway line in 1916.Three b/w photos/postcards of the Orbost Railway, 1916 2713.1 An oval shaped b/w photo/postcard showing a steam engine and five train carriages on a railway line, and workers beside the line using shovels. 2713.2 A panoramic rural view taken from an elevated position, showing paddocks, a long railway bridge on the right hand side with a line of telegraph poles beside it, one house on a road, and buildings in the distance. 2713.3 A steam train on a wooden bridge in the foreground.

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1991, feature a number of prominent landmarks in the Sunshine and Albion areas, providing a valuable overview of the district's industrial, transport and commercial landscape. Visible in the images are Albion Railway Station, the John Darling & Son Flour Mill, the railway substation in Talmage Street, the Ballarat Road railway overpass and, in the background, the Sunshine Cabinet Works. Together, these structures illustrate the strong links between rail transport, manufacturing and industry that shaped the development of the local area throughout the twentieth century.The photographs provide an important visual record of several notable landmarks and preserve evidence of the built environment of Sunshine and Albion at a time when many industrial sites have been closed and demolished or remained prominent features of the landscape. This Albion Railway Station will be removed and upgrade as part of the future Melbourne Airport Rail Project that will commence construction in 2026.6779.01 - Albion Railway Station Precinct 1991 Photographs (Advocate 92.2).JPG 6779.02 - Albion Railway Station Precinct 1991 Photographs (Advocate 92.2).JPG 6779.03 - Albion Railway Station Precinct 1991 Photographs (Advocate 92.2).JPG 6779.04 - Albion Railway Station Precinct 1991 Photographs (Advocate 92.2).JPG 6779.05 - Albion Railway Station Precinct 1991 Photographs (Advocate 92.2).JPGalbion railway station, john darling flour mills, albion substation, albion
