History In Service
|
These wagons were assembled by the Commonwealth railways workshop at Port Augusta. As of Nov 1977, 4 had been converted to standard gauge and reclassified CD, two had been written off, and the rest remained in service on the narrow gauge. This would have changed with the final conversion and closure of the final narrow gauge lines in 1995 Reclassified to ACDY after Sept 1979.
