It comprises South Australian Railways steam locomotive no. 625, two steel passenger cars and a 'Long Tom' brake van. The street is lined with shops and public buildings; the Ellen Street station dominates. This is a printed postcard image that was coloured by the photographer and/or the printer.
context_page_description: On-street running or street running is the routing of a railroad track or tramway track running directly along public streets, without any grade separation. The rails are embedded in the roadway, and the train shares the street with pedestrians and automobile traffic. Street running trains generally travel at reduced speed for safety reasons.
  Stations can appear similar in style to a tram stop, but often lack platforms, pedestrian islands, or other amenities. Passengers may be required to wait on a distant sidewalk, and then board or disembark directly among mixed traffic in mid-pavement, rather than at curbside.
  Rails can be embedded in the surface of bridges and tunnels as on Inuyama Bridge or Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel.
