Re: (NSW) City Circle



If you search the picture treasure trove you will/may eventually find
3/4 photographs taken in 1926 of the newly finished city railway viaduct facing
Elizabeth St. You will notice what looks like the same train, led by a
Bradfield Car, gradually moving north towards the Goulburn St portal.

If you look at my earlier (binary) picture of Central, it appears to me that "my picture" is one of the same set, but
taken before those in the archives.

They are all probably sourced from a NSWGR photographer, and I wonder
if the train was posed and photographed at various stages along the line.
