Clarendon Street. Note the alignment of the Port Melbourne line bridge -
not parallel with the St Kilda line bridge. That is because the Port
Melbourne line went straight through the middle of what became the Montague
Goods Yard. For the construction of the suburban platforms at Spencer
Street, the Shipping Shed was relocated to Montague and the Port Melbourne
line had to be moved to the eastern side of the yard thus the odd looking
curves in the photograph (and also out of sight here; the curves at Inglis
Street.
