This car is one of 50 electric carriages built for the Sydney rail network by Leeds Forge Company in Sheffield (Known as the City of Steel), England in 1924.
The carriages were shipped to Sydney, then assembled at Eveleigh Railway Workshops and Clyde Engineering. They were the first all-steel carriages in Australia.
This car was part of the first electric train fleet to come into passenger service on the 1st March 1926, travelling from Sydney to Oatley as a six-car set, with only the one set operating on the day. This car was still in use during the 1990s.
4052 Exterior is part of the Eveleigh Paint Shop series.
