The VR cars from Elwood depot when required to go
to Newport Workshop were towed from St Kilda Station to the workshops over
the railway system after last trains had ran early hours of the morning,and
returned the same way.Where the VR cars shunted outside the railway station the
track extended through a gate into the railway yard this was the conection to
the main system.The VR trams were 5'3" guage.the shallow wheel flanges of the
trams did create problems during transfere's of trams and the connection was not
used too often. The Vr trams ceased operating on 28th Feburary
1959.
The Sandringham VR trams were standard
guage 4'81/2"same as the M.M.T.B.The Vr trams at Sandringham ceased on 5th
November 1956.Trucker Graeme.
