This page attempts to document all extant, loco-hauled passenger carriages
of the New South Wales Railways. Complete and preserved cars are included,
as well as those that have been partly dismantled, dismounted from
their bogies, or adapted for other uses.
The histories of most carriages are only well recorded up until their disposal
from the railways. Those that went to preservation groups can be accounted
for by consulting each museum's inventories (where available), while many
that disappeared into private ownership are not readily traced at all.
Some have changed hands and been re-located several times.
Information presented here has come from diverse sources of varying reliability.
Where practicable reports of each carriage have been cross-checked,
but this has not always been possible and there are bound to be
errors and omissions. I welcome any corrections and updates.
Many of the listed carriages are privately owned, located on private land,
or even converted for use as homes or accommodation. Some may not be accessible
to the public, so please respect the owner's and occupiers privacy! Anyone who
would like the whereabouts of their carriage removed from this list should
email NSWRcars (Brian Ayling) - refer to 'Contact' below.
Download the
spreadsheet of known surviving NSWR cars here.
Records are initially sorted by carriage Number.
You can use the 'Data, Sort' option in your spreadsheet program
(Microsoft Excel, or similar) to rearrange the list order,
for example by Code, Location, etc.
Photographs and brief histories of a few interesting and less well known cars
can be viewed on the NSWR cars feature page.
For pictures and information about other carriages, please refer to the
links provided in the NSWRcars spreadsheet, and at the foot of this page.
If you know of any existing former NSW Railways carriage that does not appear in the list, please tell us about it (refer to 'Contact' below).
