Victorian Railways - Car Names


This page contains a list of all cars and miscellaneous vehicles that were known by a name.

Notes

  1. Some names have been used twice for different vehicles and different purposes. Each vehicle is included separately
  2. Whilst some vehicles have specific categories, they have all been placed by me under the title of 'Special Stock' to keep the data tidy. Most vehicles were "one off's". Some lasted a couple of years whilst others ran the duration of 30+ years
  3. Sometimes the name applied to a vehicle was for traffic use even though the carriage may have been 'On Register' with another identity.
  4. The list is a slightly modified output from my 'Register' program that is logging the histories of all rolling stock 1886-1996
