	Chapter 6: Transport and the Making of Cities, 1850-1970
		Within the bigger cities, railway maintenance and manufacturing was also a spur to suburban growth, especially around the railway workshops in Redfern in Sydney and Williamstown (later moved to nearby Newport) in Melbourne.
		The two remaining horse tramways in the eastern suburbs were converted to electric traction as part of the process of trust tramway building in 1915 and 1916.
		The Eastern Suburbs Railway was eventually opened in 1979 (although diverted to run through King's Cross instead of beneath Oxford Street as Bradfield had envisaged), eighteen years after the trams it had been conceived to replace had been withdrawn.

		Residents of suburbs around transport hubs such as Chatswood and Hurstville will already be familiar with what the Government is proposing.
		The Metropolitan Strategy foresees increasing the clusters of high-rise developments around railway stations and bus interchanges to ensure public transport is an easier option for those living in the new concentrated developments, with less need for cars.
		Attempts since then to improve the network have been short, truncated and rare, as the eastern suburbs railway and the attempt to link Chatswood to Parramatta show.

		Under the Worcester Railways Act of 1870, the proprietors were obliged to provide signals at the public road crossings to warn road users when trains required to pass across the highway.
		In this condition key Y is locked in the lock on signal A and key Z in the lock on signal B. The initial, or master, key X is normally kept housed in the cover of the ground frame nearest to the roadway, on the Pheasant Street side of the crossing.
		We understand that, although this use of railway signals is nowadays rarely met with and many members of the public probably fail to understand their significance, it would have been necessary to obtain repeal of the relevant clauses in the original Act of Parliament in order to abolish them at this crossing.

		Bradfield prepared the railway scheme, but nobody knew how the verdict would go in the bridge versus tunnel argument so schemes were prepared to cover both options.
		After only a year as Principal Designing Engineer, Bradfield was assigned by the Minister of Works, Arthur Griffith, to work exclusively on he bridge and city railway with the initial title of Engineer-in-Charge of Sydney Harbour Bridge and City Transit, the task which occupied him for the remaining twenty years of his departmental working life.
		In evidence to the Works Committee, Bradfield first supported a railway subway rather than a bridge as it was only in this way that passengers could go from north to east or west without changing trains in the city.

		If suburbs are capitalism’s ideally separated buying units, and suburbs can be built profitably, then we must create humans who like and want suburbs: suburb-people.
		Since before the existence of suburbs there were no suburb-people, advertising has the task of creating them, in body and mind.
		It lays the standard-gauge railway track from wilderness to human feeling, assisting in the transformation of both into a unified commercial form.

		The oldest part of the Sydney railway system is the Mortuary building which was completed in 1869 and was designed by a female architect (contrary to information on various websites).
		Beside the old Sydney railway station was the Devonshire Street Cemetery, which was at the back of the Sydney Benevolent Hospital.
		When a decision was made to demolish the hospital and cemetery to build Central Railway Station, newspaper advertisements were placed by Sydney City Council asking relatives of the deceased to come forward if they required their ancestors' remains to be moved, either to Botany Cemetery or Rookwood.

		The railway easement was to be reduced in width to less than half its present width from Brown Street to Newcastle Station with only two railway tracks operating.
		This meant that the City was unable to realise the magnificent benefits of the scenic landscaped rail corridor as a feature in its own right and gain the advantage of the improved crossing facilities and the realignment of the Wharf Road to create extra landscaped areas.
		Furthermore the Government and the Railways made no attempt to construct attractive overhead gantries to carry electrical gear when the line was electrified across this sensitive foreshore area.

	electric_trains: Electrics Of Australia
		Built by Metropolitan-Vickers & Beyer-Peacock in Britain for the NSW Government Railways, electric locomotive 4615 was landed in Sydney on 15th November 1956 and entered service on 21st January 1957.
		The "46 class" electric locomotives were ordered and designed for the electrification of the Sydney to Wallerawang route over the Blue Mountains in N.S.W. The motivation was an expected increase in the volume of coal to be shipped from the western coalfields beyond Lithgow, in the mid to late 1950s.
		More recently, 4615 was used for track circuit testing on the Eastern Suburbs Railway as part of the Edgecliff turnback alterations completed in February 2004.
