Electric trams of the 1890s had separate numbers for motors and trailers within each separate system and the unified numbering scheme was not introduced for the electric tramcars until 1898. [1] ClassificationA statewide numbering scheme was required as isolated electric segments became joined and rolling stock interchanged and major maintenance performed at Randwick Tramway Workshops. In 1905 a general alphabetical classification was introduced to the NSW Government Tramways. In general lettering indicated: - A and B were given to steam stock
- C through to N (and later O) to electric cars based on seating capacity.
- T was planned for trailers but not displayed
- S indicated general service, non-passenger carrying stock
- U for ballast motors
- V for ballast trailers
- W for electric water sprinklers.
New types of electric trams continued to be allocated letters, with the exception of I, Q, Y and Z. ClassesCar Numbers and Classification |
