					<description><![CDATA[The Malta Railway never produced much advertising material. Most printed matter associated with the line was in the form of timetables, tickets, paperwork, and the odd official report. The original Company created a few basic printed posters promoting events, but these were for basic information rather than anything eye-catching. To fill this void, I&#8217;ve created [&#8230;]]]></description>

The main building can be clearly seen but in an incomplete state. Also visible is a contractors truck and temporary railway, but beyond these curiosities is another feature: a small stone-built cabin. This [&#8230;]]]></description>

There was a tank further up Triq Ghajn Hammiem that was supposed to feed the engines by gravity, so it&#8217;s unclear why an additional pump was needed. There was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently, a previously unpublished photograph went up for auction on Ebay. We were keeping our eyes on it to add to our collection. It was an unexceptional image, occupying less than half of a full side of a standard postcard, but interesting as it was clearly taken by an amateur who declared it was &#8220;taken [&#8230;]]]></description>

The change had been instructed in April the previous year, probably through agreement with the company director William Roebuck who was [&#8230;]]]></description>

A train from Valletta barks up the last few hundred yards of incline into Museum station.

In the middle distance an unusual wagon can be seen halfway along the long siding there. This is one of the two low-sided open waggons used principally for transporting railway ballast up the line. However, [&#8230;]]]></description>
