That pic is the the TDU archive at: https://tdu.to/i/58627

I went looking for another pic and found a ripper, made by Pratt Airspy and in the SLV, that's just overflowing with interest - it's attached and I have marked some items of interest with green circles.
If you want the full res image, without the circles and showing a slightly larger area, it's at:

Centre left is the Fish Market beyond the viaduct and Government Cool Store closer to the viewer.
Bottom left are the offices of the MT&OCo and the MMTB

A bit higher left beyond the river is Hanna St - and the Hanna St depot - before Kingsway turned that boulevard into a major highway and long before the depot site was sold off for development.

At lower right is a long goods shed that was a recycled building from the Great Exhibitions of 1880 and 1888 in Carlton.  Part of it has been recycled again and it is now the "Exhibition Goods Shed" at Bylands.
