Work men removing the railway tracks from the Square. The last train went through the Square in June of 1964 and later that month work men started to remove track joints and lines from the Square. Milson Railway Station opened on 21 October 1963. The large building in the center of the image is the Milne and Choyce department store, which was once the CM Ross Department Store (Roscos) and is now the home of the City Library.
