Beneath the steel and timber, this inspection pit once echoed with the steady rhythm of tools and voices as workmen toiled to keep Sydney’s railway fleet in motion. The recessed design gave them access to the undercarriage, ensuring each train was primed for the journeys ahead.
Now, flanked by an Interurban carriage on the left and an air-conditioned car on the right, the Centurion stands in the centre, a 103-year-old wooden trailer car with its legacy etched into every weathered beam. Though the workers are long gone, their craftsmanship endures, woven into the fabric of the railways that still whisper of their dedication.
This print is a must-have for rail heritage enthusiasts, capturing the history of Eveleigh Paint Shop and the meticulous work that kept Sydney’s trains running.
