Old MTT Tramway Poles - Glen Osmond Road

Post by Tim Williams »

With the work on the Glen Osmond Road/Fullarton Road intersection soon to commence, a notice from SA Power Networks has been circulated (around our area) advising that, amongst othe things, that 36 obsolete poles will be removed from various locations in the vicinity of the intersection - this might include some of the few remaining old tramway poles. The work is due to commence on 17th January, but pole removal will not be the first task.

So, out with your cameras boys and girls - record these for posterity!!

Giving SAPN some due credit for this, they are very proactive in ensuring that any of the ex tramway poles that they remove are carefully taken down and transported out to the Tramway Museum at St Kilda for us to assess them for re-use. Their efforts and support are very much appreciated by us.
