Yes it ran over there and then down behind Nansen St when I was a nipper.
There where also lines across at the point east where Blackett St became Western Road.

Interesting.I was born and raised in Nansen street.
Often used the railway lines as a short cut to school.
Grange road and Central.I have often wondered when
Blacket street was so badly damaged that it had to be
demolished.Possibly when I was evacuated.
