Tram tracks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, 1931-1932

Lovely perspective in this photo.
grahamH said:
At that time they were railway tracks, they were later connected to the tram system. I have seen photos of all four tracks on the bridge filled with locomotives, for weight testing.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
grahamH Thank you for that information grahamH. Were you referring to the State Records NSW photograph? www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/6995023441/in/set... A fantastic photograph. Thanks again for the correction!
grahamH said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons That one and similar others. Would have been good these days if the railway still had 4 tracks across the bridge...

grahamH Certainly would make things a lot quicker for commuters but terrible for drivers :)

Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Maloja The presence of the vehicle ferry (see note) implies pre March 1932 Harbour Bridge opening (how geeky can I possibly get?) Possibly 21/8/1931 at 16.30 (Customs House clock see note) after a 4pm departure from Pyrmont? - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16827530

beachcomber australia Super sleuth! Well spotted re the ferry, I wonder how Hall got to be on the Harbour Bridge at that time, a maritime photographer's dream.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Thanks for spotting the duplicate with this photograph beachcomber, oops! Regarding Hall being in two places at the same time, we reckon either one may have been taken by an employee of Hall & Co, especially seeing as this is a c 1932 image which makes this theory seem likely as the Hall business would have been more established.
beachcomber australia said:
Ha! I now think it must have been a different occasion, as the boat moored alongside Bennelong Point (see note) is different in each photo.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia What do you think about the theory here though:

Possibly taken at different times, but on the same day for the bridge opening? Probably too difficult to say for sure.
