					<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[Back in October my visit to the former upper station building at Notabile station concerned me. Having been derelict and in decline for years, work had suddenly begun clearing the area and no one seemed sure what the future held for it. Started in around 1900, the upper building grew in progressive phases around an [&#8230;]]]></description>

Mr &#160;Galea-Naudi informs us that it was part of a large collection of glass negatives inherited from his father, but only this one records a scene on [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Close inspection of an early plan to tunnel the Malta Railway under Mdina, drawn in around 1894, reveals a spaghetti of crayon lines in red and blue that at first sight look like accidental scuffs or kid’s doodles. However, looking at them more closely they seem to be a series of alternative ideas to try [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Two photographers were out on the 28th February 1883 to record the inauguration of the Malta Railway. The sequence of photographs they took of the first train arriving at Notabile station are an invaluable record. We know there were two, because one of them appears in a photo taken by the other! With the tripod [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s interesting to see how the event developed and also to see the extent of work still incomplete on opening day. The line had been delayed repeatedly, and the ongoing work shows how construction [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been building an accurate scale 3D model of the station using original drawings and other info, and used it to test two versions of the station building to work out what&#8217;s happened. The original building, as designed in 1883, [&#8230;]]]></description>

There’s this old image looking up Racecourse Road with buildings on the right. It shows one with three openings with big louvres at the windows and a door facing the photographer in the side.
