03 THE STORY

About this print

The driver's cabin end of carriage 3102 at the Eveleigh Paint Shop shows the leading face of the carriage, with the front bulkhead, the cab window, and the marker lights on the front panel. The cab window is a single sheet of glass set into a timber frame, the same dimensions as the side windows of the carriage. Below the window, a hand-painted route board fitting is mounted to the bulkhead. The marker lights at the corners of the front panel are brass-bodied, with red lenses. Couplings sit at standard buffer height across the bottom of the cab end. The chocolate-and-cream NSW Government Railways paint runs across the front face, with the carriage number 3102 lettered in the centre below the window.

The end of carriage 3102 carrying the driver's cab is the leading face of the carriage when it is at the front of a set. Carriages were typically built with cabs at one or both ends so that a set could be run in either direction without uncoupling and turning the carriages. Carriage 3102 has the cab fittings at this end; the opposite end has a passenger vestibule with no driving controls. The cabin end in this photograph is part of the heritage collection at the Eveleigh Paint Shop, held by Historic Electric Traction. The carriage is retired from regular service and held for restoration and display.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

The end seat compartment of Car 3102, a transitional space where passengers once gathered before settling into their seats. The scuffed walls and faded paint tell a layered story of use and upkeep, a place where hurried footsteps, shifting luggage, and countless hands left their quiet marks.

George Cowdery worked on the Britannia Bridge with Robert Stephenson in 1847. John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief for NSW Railways, brought him to NSW in 1863, where he supervised the colony's first railway tunnels at Picton and Mittagong. The brick main wing of the Paint Shop was completed in 1887, eight rail roads under a sawtooth south-light roof.
