During May there have been several visitors to the Large Erecting Shop at Eveleigh.
RTM water gins and VHO van were stabled at Eveleigh between trips.
The VHO is beginning to look in need of some attention to the body.
An interesting feature of this van is the “late letters” slot.
In the days when Mail Trains were operating in NSW letters could be posted immediately prior to the train departure. Note a fee applied.
The recently restored Railway Pay Bus was moved from Central Station to the QR Museum at Ipswich via Eveleigh.
Railcorp staff prepare to move the bus off the concourse at Central onto a NDYF flat wagon. The wagon was then moved to Eveleigh with the Pay Bus on board.
At Eveleigh the Pay Bus was loaded onto a truck that transported the bus to Queensland. The Pay Bus is now on display at the QR Ipswich Museum.
Eveleigh is a very busy place again. There is some talk that Thomas the Tank Engine may visit soon!
Who ever said there was no need to retain the Large Erecting Shop at Eveleigh?
