The elusive La Luna loop
  Mal Rowe

While working on the book about the Prahran & Melbourne Tramways Trust,
Ian Brady and I searched hard for a pic showing the loop at Luna Park in
use. We didn't find a suitable pic. In fact, we think it was probably
only used for storage of trams at busy times, not as a regular terminal
loop.

Here's a pic I found today - the loop is just opposite Luna Park at the
left centre of the pic.

You can see a tram sitting at the normal terminus - which was still used
for some years even after the loop was removed.

At right of the pic attached to this email, just above centre, you can
also see the old terminus of the line down Park St - which deviated into
Mary St and Beaconsfield Pde to join the tram line in The Esplanade.
That deviation was removed in late 1959.
