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.

Regards Clayton Barker, Burford Historian
