From the field notes
Heavy coil springs and hydraulic dampers sit exposed at ground level, the bogie assembly of a stainless steel U-boat carriage filling the right of frame. Rust blooms across the suspension components. Grime coats every surface. The concrete floor stretches back beneath the carriage underside, narrowing between cast iron columns and a row of blue and silver rolling stock parked on the adjacent line. Light filters through the clerestory roof high above, catching dust in the still air.

The series
Eveleigh Paint Shop
The Eveleigh Paint Shop opened in 1888 as part of the Eveleigh Railway Workshops in Sydney. Designed for painting and finishing train carriages, the building has steam-heated floors, cast-iron windows, and a sawtooth roof. It adapted from steam to electric stock and stayed in use as the city's rail network modernised around it. Brett photographed the workshop in 2016.
