A view of Geelong station looking towards Melbourne, 1885. The 0-6-0 loco shunting over the level crossing was classified "R" in 1886, later known as "Old R's" (nicknamed Bulldog R's)
In 1916 this crossing, Railway Terrace, was abolished to due construction of an underpass. Photo by Emma Nettleton |

Maitland Street box controlled a set of interlocked gates at Maitland street just north of Geelong station.
The grime on the front of the signalbox is the result of years of arriving passenger trains making their final brake applications
as they approached Geelong platform. The interlocked gates and signalbox were abolished Aug. 6 1982 as a result of an overpass being built.
Photo date 1980.
