@Chris Harding - Do you know where this train line connected?

The current light rail line to Dulwich Hill, and the disused section from Hay St. to the tunnel under George St. and up next to the Mortuary Station.
That was the first railway tunnel in Australia. The line served Darling Harbour, and was later extended to Rozelle. The trams run along most of it today.

My late Father in Law was in charge of the Heavy Machine Shop. If I'm correct, this is the machine which rolled cold steel slabs into boiler segments.
It was a very noisy process as the steel bent to shape.

Note the overhead masts made from reclaimed railway track. Beyond Kingsgrove, the line to Easy Hills was single track and the masts were timber poles.
