Eveleigh, National Innovation Centre, carriage

This old train carriage is on display outside the National Innovation Centre at the Australian Technology Park, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The building was formerly the Engine Shop, part of the Eveleigh Railway Yards, which were the largest and most technologically advanced workshops in the southern hemisphere in the late 19th century. This C3704 is a Comeng Suburban Motor Car built in 1955 and known as a Sputnik.
