One other example is the trailing turnout from
Brunswick Road into Lygon Street. This was
originally the western end of the Holden
Street connection linking Lygon Street to St Georges
Road. I understand it will be removed at some stage
in the future.

Here's today's pic of the scene.

At the other end of the old line the track is gone,
but the poles remain in place marking the dog-leg
where the line ducked up two side streets to avoid the
old cable tram terminus.

This line (later known as the Holden St shuttle) was
put in to allow the Preston tramways access to the
MB&CTT prized connection to the city - avoiding the
need to transfer to cable car.
