Suburban Passenger Rolling Stock
From the opening of the first railway line in Sydney in 1855, suburban steam hauled trains operated suburban services. By 1890, suburban steam-hauled trains ran frequently from Sydney to Homebush, Parramatta and Hurstville. Less frequent services operated to Liverpool, Ryde, Hornsby, Sutherland and Waterfall. Often these trains were mixed, carrying both goods and passengers. By 1914, plans were being drawn up to electrify the Sydney suburban rail lines.

was in her, a bloodbeat, it was against the rolling dark
