Hi Andrew,

Two-car Tait and Doggie electric sets were common on the Port Melbourne and St. Kilda lines in the 1970s, usually on weekends and some off-peak times.
The St. Kilda line had 6-car sets most of the time, as the loading on that line was heavier. By the early 1980s, St. Kilda trains were through routed to Sandringham, with Tait sets being common. We got a shock at North Port one afternoon after work, when a four-car blue Harris set turned up to take us to Flinders Street!

Attached is a shot of a two-car Tait set leaving Graham for Port Melbourne, before the signal box was abolished, along with the level crossing.
Date is Sunday, 2 November, 1969.

Cheers,
Andrew Cook.

Third photo, is that a two carriage train on its way to St Kilda or Port Melbourne? Were two carriage trains usual on those lines?

Great photo finds.

Andrew.
