Eveleigh, Locomotive Workshop

The Locomotive Workshops are located along Locomotive Street, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. They were opened in 1887 for the maintenance and manufacture of steam locomotives. Bays 3, 4 and 4A were the Boilermaker's Shop, with Bay 3 featuring the Heat Treatment Room. These workshops closed in 1988 and these bays have now been redeveloped to house a supermarket, restaurant, a function centre and office space. A collection of old locomotive parts made in the workshop have been put on display along this walkway.
