Hi, I'm an admin for a group called australian steam locomotives, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The clock on the station says 3.55pm, but there are no passengers to be seen, just railway staff staring at the camera, and enough locomotives to delight any trainspotter. Very odd! The ~~original~~ second station (on the left) was a very handsome neo-classical temple.

Locomotive No.1 (centre of photo) is now in the Powerhouse Museum. Full details and heaps of photos: www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=19352 I see from the blurb (there is a lot of information there) that this locomotive "was withdrawn from service in 1877 after 22 years of operation, having travelled 155 667 miles (250 468 km)". Which suggests that this photo is earlier than 1877 (No.1 looks in great condition here), much earlier than most of the Tyrrell Collection. I hope the experts at the Powerhouse Museum know about this photo!
