Fort Macquarie to Pyrmont or Ryde
We swing to our right and enter Quay Street passing Her Majesty's Theatre, heading towards the Markets,
upon reaching Ultimo St, we swing around then curve to left, passing under the railway line leading to
Sydney Yards, and meet Harris St, by a trailing Junction, a right turn into Harris St, and its straight
running, past the entrance to Ultimo Depot and on to the next junction on the line, that of Miller St,the
line straight ahead traversing the final part of Harris St as far as John St. where it terminates. The line
turning left continues a downhill run to the corner of Bank St where it turns left and heads towards and over
Glebe Island Bridge,(now replaced by the Anzac Bridge) as we approach the Bridge the traffic lights turn Amber
then Red. We stop and wait as the bridge swings open to allow one of Miller's colliers to pass through enroute
to its berth adjacent to Pyrmont Bridge Rd. Once the collier has passed under the bridge it resumes it slow swing
to the closed position, the lights turn green and once again we are on our way. We wind our way along the forbidding
cliff face on our right, as we follow Victoria Rd to its junction with The Cresent. Here we are joined by the tracks
coming from the direction of the city via Rozelle Depot. Travelling up victoria Rd we pass through the junction at
White Bay Power Station ash sidings road and continue following Victoria Rd through Drummonye, Gladesville and on to
Ryde.
