electric multiple unit at Simla Crescent on the Johnsonville Line, 1957


Another Keith Flemming photo, this shows an English Electric two-car electric multiple unit entering Simla Crescent station in Khandallah on the 10.5 km Johnsonville branchline on 18 August 1957.  The destination signs on the sides above the windows, among a few other details, indicate this is one of the original two-car sets acquired for the electrification of the line in 1938.  For more details, see our book Railway Electrification in Australia and New Zealand.
