G’day Hal & All,
There are also Upper Quadrants situated in the Overhead Mast to provide a stop signal for any shunting movement to come onto the viaduct,
in order to shunt back into the station through a disk signal.. The Tait is East Bound probably into maybe 4 & 5 Platform.
Not a signal gunzel of note

Hal, the discs were set back discs from the down viaduct lines back into Flinders Street, the arms were from the up viaduct lines. So signals on the bridge applied from all four lines.

Oh my! Apart from the tram shots, that signal gantry on the viaduct: 22 home signals, plus 10 disc signals -- for just two of the four tracks? (Were any of those four tracks bidirectional?) . And the spark or loco driver had to know what each one meant for him.

Am I right in thinking that the Tait set is travelling west, to Spencer St and North Melbourne stations, and probably bound for the Coburg or Essendon lines?

That's it, but very interesting.

Enjoy,

Cheers,
