Saw this photo on FB and thought that Aucklanders, and those who have known Auckland in the past, might appreciate.

All the buildings in the background are long gone.

Hope you like it.:)

1484332 2022-02-16 04:16:00 Forget the banal comment, that belongs in Farcebook, not here ... I'm guessing that must be Queen and Customs Street. And the car ... a Chevy? Anybody? :) WalOne (4202)
1484333 2022-02-16 04:59:00 Banal for you maybe, I have seen old pics of the CBD before but never knew they had trains like that in the middle of it. piroska (17583)
1484334 2022-02-16 05:19:00 Train is in Quay St. Shunting from wharves to yards in Station Rd. are my thoughts? I remember that from my younger days. Yards were huge, ran right to Parnell over bridge at Mechanics Bay.

Not quite. Just down the road - intersection of Queen St and Quay St.
