Melbourne Tram MuseumPhotograph - Trackwork at Flinders and Swanston Sts, c1930
... Trackwork at Flinders and Swanston Sts....Black and white photograph showing a group of men working on the tracks at the corner of Flinders and Swanston Sts, c1930. In the background is the Flinders St station building advertising the Mt Bufalo chalet. ...Photograph Trackwork at Flinders and Swanston Sts. ...Black and white photograph showing a group of men working on the tracks at the corner of Flinders and Swanston Sts, c1930. In the background is the Flinders St station building advertising the Mt Bufalo chalet. The railways took over the operation of the chalet in Oct. 1924, see reference. Notes from RJ 1/8/2027 T'he motorcycle on the right is a BSA single 1928-32 – this was the most popular type of motorcycle in Melbourne at this time. The car turning left into St Kilda Rd is a Ford Model A coupe 1928-31. The safety zone sign was introduced by the MCC circa 1927. The ad for the Orange and Lemon fruit juice indicates that the photo was taken between Nov 1926 and 1935 – when the fruit juice bar on the concourse of the station was rebranded as the Health Drink Stall – that was when they broadened the offerings from just freshly squeezed Lemon or Orange juice to coffee and other beverages. Nowadays it would be a Boost Juice. Unfortunately, the detail isn’t good enough for the large American saloon in front of the station – all I can tell is that it is American. If there was more detail of the grille I could do better – it might be a Dodge, though I can’t say for certain – but I’m not sure it would give a narrower date range. Therefore, the date range is 1928-35, but I would plump for 1929 or 1930, primarily due to the lack of newer cars. Thus, the maintenance work is just maintenance work – not involved with the conversion from cable to electric traction. My guess it is a Sunday morning (11:10 am) due to the lack of traffic and trams and people – Sunday morning trams weren’t brought in until 4 Oct 1936 – and any other day there would be hordes of people at this time of day. It also makes sense from a work perspective, as this would be the least disruptive time to perform maintenance on the H crossing at this location."

A cable tram, tramway signalman and many pedestrians are shown. This was the busiest cable tram crossing. The signalman had two roles. Before police controlled the intersection, he used signals and flags to guide the gripmen through the intersection. Also, as the Collins St hill caused the cable to rise up through the slot onto the roadway, he operated a suppression bar which held the cable in the tunnel until a tram needed to pass through the intersection.Yields information about Town Hall and tramway signalmanColoured postcard with title above photograph and postcard markings on rear.

A driver adjusted the roll to select each new trip destination. Given the length of rolls, in this case approximately nine metres, this could be a time consuming process. In addition to the named destination roll, each tram included a separate roll listing the route numbers.The roll was purchased at a Leski Auction in Armadale as part of a large group of tramways memorabilia including tram 'rolls' from New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. The auction house described the collection as "The collection of destination blinds or rolls that forms the core of the Railways Trams & Buses Section (Lots 655 – 732) is the best we have ever offered and represents a life-time of collecting by an Adelaide enthusiast, now deceased." Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board Tramways Destination Roll. Black and white paint on linen roll. Forty-eight named destinations including four depots - Camberwell, Hanna Street, Hawthorn, Kew.
