The stainless-steel body of this interurban motor car CF5015, once a critical part of air-conditioned train sets, is now covered in layers of graffiti. The markings stand in contrast to the functional design, where every panel, hatch, and vent once served a purpose in delivering 240v power to the carriages it supported.
Though its role in passenger comfort has long ended, the van remains in the workshop, its surface now carrying a different kind of history. The original lettering and technical markings still peek through, reminders of the function it once performed across the rail network.
This print is perfect for those drawn to the intersection of railway heritage and urban culture, capturing the transformation of Eveleigh Paint Shop’s rolling stock over time.
