RE: A Perth gem

Hi Mal,

Near the north end of the Barrack St railway bridge [behind Perth tram 34] was Roe St where there was a stub terminus for trams heading east to Maylands. There was a ‘depot working’ connection from the Roe St terminus to the up Inglewood line.

Bob in Perth may be able to confirm or correct this.

The attached pic by Noel Reed had me a little puzzled.

It's usually the location that stumps me, but this one is easy - 34 is
heading south across the railway bridge into Barrack St.

By the way, the only recognisable bit these days is the bridge.

What puzzled me was the number.

34 was an ex Kalgoorlie car on Brush trucks ... but this car has an arch
roof, not the clerestory roof of the 1902 Kalgoorlie cars.

It turns out that this car was re-built with an arch roof in Perth.
