					<description><![CDATA[The recent acquisition of a large batch of old photos has furnished us with some interesting new insights into the Malta railway after closure in 1931. After services were ended in 1931, most of the railway property was divided amongst Government departments. Hamrun station, however, remained as the thriving campus for the technical school. It [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We’re grateful to the Malta Department of Information Archives for having searched their collections for Malta Railway images. Amongst these, shown above, was a new and unpublished image that gives new insight on one of the more enigmatic buildings on the line. The ticket office at Hamrun station was added after the line fell under [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in 2024, the surviving Malta Railway station building in Hamrun underwent restoration and received a refreshed new look. Strikingly, the colour was transformed from the familiar off-white to a vivid red and green. The restoration was diligently undertaken by Bezzina &#38; Cole architect and engineers and with oversight from Government conservation officers. It was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in 2009, two transport enthusiasts, Mac Head and Keith Till were lucky enough to see inside the former Malta Railway workshops at Hamrun. We&#8217;ve been incredibly fortunate to be offered the use of their record of this little-seen building on this website. Now with new diagrams, historic photos, and a new interpretation of the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The national archives of Malta hold a number of copies of a drawing of Hamrun station precinct. It’s a survey drawing showing the buildings then standing, but without the railway tracks between them. It probably originated towards the end of the line&#8217;s life, and still forms part of a wider collection of railway drawings. It’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s been recorded, photographed several times, but is it more than it looks? It’s a tall rivetted cylinder at the back of the engineering works at Hamrun. Most analysis of it has identified it as a vertical boiler used as power or hot water for the works, or a storage tank; however, this new theory [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are a few bits of the Malta Railway still hidden about Hamrun. These photographs show two important fragments surviving from the railway embankment at the station throat at its east end. Whilst the line of the track has been built-up with houses on one side and a stadium on the other, there are still [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Years after the closure of the Malta Railway remnants littered the former railway yard at Hamrun. Here, surrounded by scrap, Engine No.1 hangs on sandwiching an interloper, a much debased tramcar, against the arch of the 1883 engine shed. This image is in fact a stitch I&#8217;ve produced of two photos, hence the greyed-out areas. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A while ago I posted a query about a chimney that appeared in the background of a photo of Hamrun, the structure projecting above the roof of the engine shed. I&#8217;m now pretty certain that this was connected with a steam hammer, its moveing being amongst costs incurred by Government in 1900-01 in expanding the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The scene is Hamrun engine shed, with No 5 standing outside and No.2 waiting in the siding at the back of the station. This post was first published on the [&#8230;]]]></description>
