My recollection of the Inner Circle abandoned track still in situ in
level crossings on Bowen Crescent and other streets in North Carlton
and Fitzroy was that it was single track, not double track, but I
haven't lived in Melbourne for 6 years now, so I could be wrong.

Does anyone have any photos on their websites of trains operating on
this line, particularly in the closing days of its operation?
