					<description><![CDATA[Rifling again through the drawings collections of National Archives of Malta, I returned to a set of plans for the Malta Electric Railway. My attention was first focussed on drawings showing the relationship with the Malta Railway, the “Government Railway”, but then expanded to cover the whole of this mysterious proposal. &#160; There is virtually [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re hugely grateful to Howard Sprenger of Kestrel Railway Books for sending us a previously unknown photo of the Malta Railway (above). It&#8217;s a lovely alternative angle on Valletta station scanned from a glass lantern slide, with some important detail that helps date it. A train is just pulling into the recently extended station platform [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on record as disliking colourised photos, mainly because so many turn out so badly. Ai is bad at recognising shapes and forms in black and white, and tends to wash images in inaccurate or wildly peculiar tones. More so now, Ai will try and regenerate the original image, making even more errors and more [&#8230;]]]></description>

The photographer takes an elevated position at the city end of the tunnel, where the original steps once descended down to the platforms.

					<description><![CDATA[A new image of Valletta Station in 1918 come from an unusual source. It was published in the London &#38; North Western Railway in-house magazine. A Mr A Hamer, former clerk in the Nuneaton Goods department, had been recuperating in the Ghajn Tuffieha convalescent camp during WWI. He took the snapshot of the Malta Railway [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a lovely insight into the early days of the Malta Railway from the Globe newspaper in England. Although written in March 1883, it describes a trial-run and the testing of the line before it opened for traffic on Feb 28th the same year. The test train is described as being formed of two [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Valletta station in 1883. This photo is likely to have been taken before the official opening of the Malta Railway, in late February that year. It&#8217;s certainly not the first, inaugural, train to run on the line, that was hauled by two engines, but the presence of a British engineer on the footplate suggests it [&#8230;]]]></description>

This diagram is based on an 1880 drawing in the Archives of Malta showing the planned section through the railway tunnel and the entry into Valletta.
