A very scruffy selfie from way back in 2017.

A plan is afoot, Susan and Jen are working out the details of something back in 2017.

Dad catching up on the news back in July 2017.

Back in 2017 we had a trip into the City for a Ghost tour. Here we are waiting at Flinders Street station for the train home. In the background is platform 1 / 14, the second longest platform in Australia at 708m.

The interior of one of the early Tait carriages with a clerestory roof. The ornate pressed ceilings , luggage racks, varnished wood, and lamp shades are a stark contrast to the simple red paint wooden bodies. The first Tait trains were built in 1909, and the last entered service in 1952, they remained in service until 1984 by which time they were referred to as Red Rattlers.

A rainy day in 2017 saw a pair of K class VR steam locos running a shuttle service between Flinders Street Station and Essendon. A red rattler (Tait) provided passenger accommodation.
