Kerang-Koondrook Tramway opened 1889 closed 1976.
Stations: Kerang, Yeoburn, Hinksons, Teal Point, Gannawarra, Koondrook. ~ 13 miles. 5' 3" gauge.
This photograph was taken in 1935 by my grandfather P G Dow. No location identification other than ' Koondrook tramway '.
However, here is a photograph taken in 2017 of Hinksons.
The photograph taken in 1935 is probably Hinksons.

Interesting fact. The railway line to Beaudesert was first surveyed from Goodna to Beaudesert. Locals thought the option to Logan Village and Bethania was better.

flickr.com/photos/1273405… Powderhall, one of Edinburgh's lesser known railway stations. Only open 21 years from 1895, it closed in 1916 (along with a number of less patronised stations) as a war economy measure and was never re-opened
As we can see from that photo though, the station buildings and platforms remained in situ and in repair for decades after (I'm not sure if it was ever used for "specials" e.g. to the adjacent sports grounds.
The building in the back of the photograph is the ominously named "CORPORATION DESTRUCTOR" - in a time when nearly all household waste was burned in domestic fireplaces, larger or non-combustible items would be carted to the destructor to meet their fate.

Just check out that clocktower and chimney!
"The most handsome mill in the world". The clocktower stood at 185 feet and was a north Edinburgh landmark.

People of Space: Ute
@People_Of_Space
Hi everyone! :) I'm Ute (pronounced like “Oohter” with the emphasis on the first syllable. Equivalents are Audrey in English, Aude/Odette in French), and first of all I would like to thank @Taraustralis for the privilege of letting me host “People of Space” this week!
@Taraustralis Another special thank you goes to my direct predecessors, @marmatheghost and @martinesrymd, for their great contributions! Both have inspired some of the things I intend to talk about over the next 7 days.
@Taraustralis @MarmaTheGhost @martinesrymd Tara created @people_of_space so people from all walks of life could talk about their passion to a larger audience. Her intention will in fact also be this week’s motto: “Space is for Everyone”.
Welcome aboard; enjoy the ride! :)

#Nowandthen at Granton. A BR Standard Class 5 picks its way across the transfer tracks at Granton Middle Harbour. This was the main point of goods transfer in Edinburgh between the old North British/LNER and Caledonian/LMS systems.
Maybe this is a bit better scaled, h/t @DonnyEdinaloka
In 1980, the rails still led as far as a Texaco fuel depot where Saltire Street now is. The direct line from Roseburn was long gone, so the approach was along the shore at Wardie then across Lower Granton road, as we see a railtour doing here #nowandthen

I love this poster so much I made my own abstract geometric version...
