The epitome of trams in Melbourne up to the early
70's.
A thoroughly usefull and good looking tram ready to
leave Wattle park for the City.
Note the No 15 trucks fitted .
Any tramway employee on the job at this time would
have had NO illusions whatsover about the power of the Tramways
Union.
Almost daily some incident would occur where their
influence would be felt.
My opinions as a "Gunzel" before there ever was a
thing by that name, would undoubtably earn me a pair of concrete shoes and
permanent residence somewhere under the Docklands development.
Melbourne missed so many opportunities years back,
but strangelly enough, by not doing anything then, in a way.......
preserved the system so it can be modernised now.
