  The tram was built by the NSW Govt's State Metal Quarries in 1913-14, in Terralong and Manning Sts, connecting the blue metal quarry on Pike's Hill with the harbour and the railway station. It transported some goods back to the quarry, but its main purpose was the 'blue metal' [basalt stone, crushed to road metal size), to the harbour (Robertson Basin). Never carried passengers - illegal. In 1935 the SMQ was sold to Quarries Limited. The tram closed in either 1940 or 41. The locomotive is a Davenport 0-4-0ST, it is heading to the quarry - towards the camera - with a rake of empty trucks. The South Coast railway bridge can be seen in the background - it is still there.

  More ... This unusual event was reported in The Irish Times on 27 May. ‘A British airship, flying the naval ensign and bearing the Allied distinguishing mark – coloured circles – on its rudders, appeared over Dublin yesterday (Friday 26 May), and attracted very keen attention. It was first noticed east of the Custom House, and, after flying over the neighbourhood of Amiens Street Station, passed over the ruins of the Imperial Hotel, crossed Sackville Street, then turned south nearly as far as the offices of the Port and Docks Board. It then proceeded eastwards over the Liffey, and performed some evolutions over the buildings on the South Wall. As it came low an excellent view of its design was obtained by the hundreds of persons observing its movement. Three figures could be seen in the airship. The navigating officers acknowledged the cheers of the crowd by waving their hands.' ... From - thecricketbatthatdiedforireland.com/2013/02/23/the-first-...
