CommentsPeter Kerr Date! This is the first station. Replaced by the island station on the opposite, or Bealey River, side of the yard when the tunnel opened in 1923.

Sandy Brears I would love to see more of these pics, early 50's.I know the school teacher in the 50's took some and left them with a family who lived there.
