Rail Rolling Stock In New South Wales
The railways of New South Wales, Australia, use a large variety of passenger and freight rolling stock. The first railway in Sydney was opened in 1855 between Sydney and Granville, now a suburb of Sydney but then a major agricultural centre. The railway formed the basis of the New South Wales Government Railways. Passenger and freight services were operated from the beginning. By 1880, there was a half hourly service to Homebush. Former suburban passenger rolling stock Suburban steam locomotives M36 Class In the late 1860s, four more of the 1 class were manufactured by Mort's Dock Sydney in 1870–71.

They served on the Sydney suburban network. In the years before their withdrawal, they were nicknamed ''Red Rattlers''.This term was imported from Victoria and was never a contemporaneous colloquialism. History To provide rolling stock for the electrification of Sydney's suburban rail network, steel carriages were ordered."Sydney's Electric Trains from 1926 to 1960" '' ARHS Bulletin'' issue 761 March 2001 pages 90-93 The initial 50 power cars were built in England by Leeds Forge Company and shipped to Australia in knocked-down condition.

Tait (train)
The Tait trains were a wooden bodied Electric Multiple Unit train that operated on the suburban railway network of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. They were introduced in 1910 by the Victorian Railways as steam locomotive hauled cars, and converted to electric traction from 1919 when the Melbourne electrification project was underway. The trains derived their name from Sir Thomas James Tait, the chairman of commissioners of the Victorian Railways from 1903 to 1910. The first cars were built during 1909 with the last entering service in 1952. Tait trains were initially referred to as "Sliding Door" trains, as opposed to the Swing Door trains then in service. From the 1950s, they became known as Reds or Red Rattlers, following the introduction of the blue-painted Harris trains. Layout Tait trains had a partly open saloon layout, with bench seats running across the train, the saloon being divided by partitions into a number of smaller areas. Each seating aisle was provided wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
