Summary

A 2'6" gauge train at Sassafras, Vic. with people standing around. A researcher believes this image was most likely taken at Belgrave. Sassafras never had a railway. Another researcher adds that Belgrave station was originally opened as "Monbulk". Up until that time Hill's townships and locations were imprecise. Kallista was originally known as South Sassafras and there is some suggestion that "Sassafras" figured briefly at one time as a descriptor of Belgrave. There were two names for Upwey (official) and a station name board,"Argyle" erected by a disgruntled landowner. The famous Belgrave (Horseshoe) Bridge has a number of locality names from Monbulk, Selby and even Emerald attached to it.
