Thanks Richard.

A few things to note ...

This line was built mostly through the paddocks - the swerves at Reynard
St, Woodland St, Moreland Rd, just south of Victoria St and elsewhere
were to link up disconnected bits of roadway.

The much quieter journey heading south just after crossing Reynard St at
1:45 - due to the use of crushed concrete and bitumen rather than concrete.

A scene during construction is at: http://tdu.to/i/35151 ; It's almost
certainly at the location in the video at 4:32.

At 12:01 you can see a couple of the original 1925 wooden poles at left
- still in use.

There's an interesting article on  the origins of this line by Geoff
Brown in the Hawthorn archives at:
