<p>The photo shows the main railway building of the Mount Gambier Railway Station with a couple of commuters waiting for a train and what looks like the station master at the far right of the train platform. Zooming in to the photo, you can see the sign 'Ladies Waiting Room' in the main building.
The Mount Gambier railway line was a railway line on the South Australian Railways network.  Opened in stages from 1881, it was built to narrow gauge and joined Mount Gambier railway station, which was at that time the eastern terminus of a line to Beachport. 
It connected at Naracoorte to another isolated narrow gauge line joining Naracoorte to Kingston SE, and to the broad gauge Adelaide-Wolseley line at Wolseley,

at around the same time that was extended to Serviceton to become the South Australian part of the Melbourne–Adelaide railway.</div>
