This photo seems to be the result of a "double exposure" with the faint view of perhaps a train car or engine and a track which you see in the foreground, running left-right The darker image being a view of the train station and tracks, proper,the old canning factory in the distance as they appeared in the early 1970's. Note: the faint railway tracks in the foreground at this location had never run in such direction, but only the east-west track and siding and spur to canning factory etc. In 1973 this building was dismantled and the roof removed prior to it being put on a trailer and taken to St. George. This may be why the building seems to not have its proper roof. There is a collection of black and white photographs at the BTHS which were snapped during the process of the railway station being moved. This may be one of that collection.
