Summary

[General description] A crowd of people stand on the roadway in King William Street, near Angas Street, in readiness to board the train which is arriving at its terminus from Glenelg. On the right is Braun's Tea Rooms, displaying a sign that boasts 'This is the place for cakes and pastry: Best in the town'. The smoke billowing from the South Australian Railways 'P' class locomotive was the subject of continuous complaints and eventually, in 1914, the line was terminated at South Terrace. In 1929 the line was upgraded and electrified as the Glenelg tram line. [On back of photograph] 'King William Road [an error -- should be 'Street'] South, showing the Glenelg train.
