Wasn't me Geoff!
Amazing. This was the month I was born! I always knew I was born twenty years too late. Two 40's and a 50 in the same shot! Superb.

Shortly after this we started the electrification construction through the area. I was the Cheif OHL Construction Inspector working out of Prescott St and photos on this site remind me of many of the drivers and guards of the time who manned the Works Trains.
