Summary
| Description |
English: Ink drawing on fabric of William Creek railway facilities, about 1890. Includes railway buildings and other infrastructure, a train, the Overland Telegraph Line, camels and cameleers. Specifically: background, from far left: station ticket office; Overland Telegraph line; water tower; signal; employee (stationmaster?) house; store room or goods shed; train crew overnight quarters; track maintenance crew (fettlers) quarters; mixed (freight and passenger) train; two foreman offices; outside "dunny"; locomotive shed; another house. Foreground: people including two camel drivers; camels carrying goods from James Marshall, importer, Adelaide and wheat from J. Dunn & Son, Adelaide. Note: the 1888 date in the State Library of South Australia catalogue is wrong: the railway did not arrive at William Creek until 1889. The full facilities pictured would not have been completed until 1890 at the earliest. |
