Re: Two Kings Cross Pictures - 2

Don,I dug out David Keenans book on Sydneys Eastern lines and in it
there a reproduction of a 1928 map which shows a short length of
track in Darlinghurst Rd.The Watsons Bay book may shed some more
light but I havn't got it.Can someone else help,it was probably used
to get short workings out of the way,much like the siding in Victoria
Parade at Brunswick St.here in Melbourne.PB.--- In

"Displaying Australia and New Guinea" was published in 1945 by the

Australia

Story Trust, 75-77 Pitt St., Sydney. Compiled by George J Tennent

and William O

Hay, it was designed as a souvenir for departing US servicemen and

printed in

the USA.

Filenames are derived from page numbers.

Shot in the opposite direction from the previous picture, Kings

Cross looking

south along Darlinghurst Road. William Street climbs from the city

at right,

and the mystery track northward can be glimpsed beneath the truck

wheels in the

foreground. The tram entering the Cross from Bayswater Road is

headed for ____

Street, while the outbound one is signed "Kings Cross."

According to a map, the round-galleried building in the left

background in the

gore between Darlinghurst Road and Victoria Street must be a fire

station.

It seems likely construction of the Kings Cross vehicular tunnel

and approaches

would have wiped out everything in this picture.
