Document - Report, State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV), "Bendigo Tramways Track", 1960's

Significance

Yields historical notes about the method of track construction in Bendigo, the poor condition of the rails at the time of the report and the need to do work at Charing Cross.

Physical description

Typed foolscap sheet note or report titled "Bendigo Tramways - Tracks". Gives notes on the track construction methods of ESCo and reconstruction by the SEC. In the section titled 'Present Condition of Tracks". Note says need to obtain photographs and comments as for Ballarat. Also mentions that the CRB is anxious to re-deck the bridge running under Charing Cross - written date?



Probably written for a report into the tramways by the SEC as part of a recommendation to close them. Appears to have been written in Ballarat, no mention of Geelong, so assume sometime in the 1960's.
