The steam platform arrival indicator at Central Railway Station, Sydney (NSW)

    Interesting and strange contraption. You had to climb the ladder and hold onto the railing to change the plates that hang on hooks for platforms and train names, or to rotate the "Direction" by the knobs at the left, and to move the clock hands. Presumably the cupboards are to store number and name plates. It can only display trains for a two-hour period which would mean alot of climbing. No wonder they replaced it fairly quickly.

    Looking at that brand new Ford Customline ultility at centre right, this looks to have been taken around 1956.

    Thanks, opsbooks, that's very helpful! We've added "1950s" to Photo Investigator and to the date above.

Chullora Railway Canteen - dining room

    Not a lot of room when everybody comes. I'd hate to be the cleaner too! none of the chairs stack on top of each other. It's so funny that the staff were brought in as photo props.

    Highranger Have you noticed the sign hanging from the ceiling, top right. "No. 1 Group" so I assume there is a No 2 and maybe No 3 ?.
  • Highranger said:
    dunedoo Maybe the group allocation allowed the staff to clear the tables? I did notice that...reminds me of boarding school ;-(

    Old RESTAURANTS dining rooms this way for sure. Looks like quite a crowded place. Crop Mobilya ( yemek odası ) modelleri.
