VP - Passenger Mail/Baggage Van


The VP number group was 100 - 149 and they were built between 1954 to 1956.

Their main use was on passenger trains for baggage, parcels and mail transport. A group of about 20 vans were permanently on the standard gauge for Melbourne - Sydney trains.

In 1974, VP 103 was partially destroyed in a fire. The roof was rebuilt with a VSX_ type as they were building VSX vans at Ballarat at the time.

The VP class were relettered to VLPY in the 1979 recoding.
