I never knew they actually used that bridge for cars. I guess it makes sense why it’s so wide

Massive goods shed but by 85 land was worth too much for a shitty train yard and Sydney was finished as a working harbor.

Still has the old Railway sheds in the background. Darling Harbour was extended by using the spoils taken from digging the tunnels for the City Circle railway.

Sydney Harbour Bridge - 1952

North Sydney trams used the tracks on the right. They terminated at platforms 1 and 2 at the upper level of Wynyard station. When the trams were taken off, these tracks were replaced by the Cahill expressway, and the platforms abandoned. Anyone who uses Wynyard might notice that it only has platforms 3,4,5 and 6.

It was built for horse and carts.
