New South Wales Rail Transport Museum on Rail Heritage 3801 and Eveleigh
The following article “RTM Mail” was published in the October 2006 Australian Railway History journal of the Australian Railway Historical Society. The Article is a report from Peter Berriman President of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum (NSWRTM) at Thirlmere. The report carries some background on RailCorp's Rail Heritage Management Strategy announcement of which NSWRTM is the major beneficiary, as well as NSWRTM’s position on 3801. These provide good background to the RailCorp announcement and the Railway heritage politics around it. Of major interest however to people of Redfern Waterloo will be the final section which shows how Eveleigh is caught up in this. [Please note that we have requested a copy of any statement made by Minister Sartor which “firmly refutes” that the “Large Erecting Shop at Eveleigh will be demolished to make way for high-rise development”. The RWA have responded that Minister has stated his position in the media statement issued on August 30th. This was the statement made on the day that the Minister both showed the Large on the gazetted heritage map and at the same time gazetted planning control changes to permit the Large to be replaced by an up to 12 storey development.]
