It's worth noting that the tracks along Barrington Street once went even deeper into the north end. The original main line (1866) extended from Inglis Street along Campbell Road (Barrington Street) to the first railway station at Richmond (Duffus Street). The line was wrecked in the 1917 Explosion and the tracks were never replaced past Young Street.
The pre-Explosion street railway network can been seen in this 1910 map: the tram lines are showed as dotted red lines.
