The Centurion, T4279 was built by Ritchie Bros. Auburn in 1916, one of 193 narrow-body end platform cars converted to wide-body electric trailers in 1925-26 (T4101-4284 & D4001-4009).

Originally an end-platform car operating under steam, it was one of just 186 converted for electric service in 1926. Its body was later widened, a change still visible in the sharp 90-degree join where the ceiling meets the walls. The original doors were only at each end of the vestibule before side doors were retrofitted to accommodate its transition to electric operation.

Restored by Public Transport Commission railway apprentices in 1977, it now undergoes further preservation work by dedicated volunteers from the Historic Electric Traction (HET) group. No longer in active service, this Centurion remains a living piece of NSW railway history, a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation that shaped Sydney’s early electric train network.

This fine art print is a striking tribute to Sydney’s rich rail heritage, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Australian commuter history.
