Eveleigh, Locomotive Workshop, carriage
This old train carriage is on display at the Australian Technology Park, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The building was formerly the Locomotive Workshop, 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 type of single deck steel rail car operated on the Sydney Suburban system from 1925 until 1992.

ReplyDeleteTowards the end, they were nicknamed "red rattlers" for the noises they made, compared to the newer trains.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous train car, Jim. I've always loved trains, and I find the sound of them very soothing. I wouldn't want to live near a highway or an airport, but train tracks are fine by me.
