Awesome pic collection,have always had a fascination with the original
Sydney system and certain locations even more so,and have all the Keenan
books on all lines and also VHS copies of Sydney Tramway Memories reel 1,2
& 3,and always love to see then and now pics and on this line one location
really intrerests me and that is the cutting under thd road bridge between
the blocks of flats,how awesome would it have been to have lived there next
to the bridge in the flats.Does anyone have any pics or tell me where i can
see pics of this area today?

Regards Timbo.
