This photograph showcases The Spirit of Progress, a legendary streamlined train of the Victorian Government Railways, making its way between Melbourne and Albury in the late 1930s. The train, adorned with an elegant blue and silver streamline design, was a symbol of modernity and progress during this era. The powerful locomotive, with its gleaming engine and polished surfaces, exudes an air of sophistication and speed. The train tracks stretch out before it, leading into the distance, as the train cuts through the landscape with ease. Passengers aboard The Spirit of Progress were treated to a comfortable and stylish journey, a far cry from the cramped and noisy conditions of earlier trains.
