Elizabeth and Victoria St 16th of October

[Mal Rowe]

Trackwork at the Victoria St Elizabeth St intersection in Melbourne is
now complete and work is progressing on platform stops and roadways.

First pic shows the temporary terminus just South of the Haymarket stop
for North Coburg trams.

Second pic shows the temporary terminus for West Maribyrnong trams in
Victoria St, west of Peel St.  You can clearly see the temporary
crossover and overhead.

Third pic shows the new track. looking west across the intersection. 
Crossovers are provided in Victoria St on each side of the intersection.

The slight kink visible in the track is due to the tramway track centres
returning to normal spacing after leaving the wide track centres to
accommodate a central platform stop just east of Eleizabeth St (behind
the camera).

Fourth pic shows a route 59 tram - back in Peel St after nearly 90 years
running in Elizabeth St.

dinner.
