CE passenger trains brakevans
CE 5 at Spencer St, 1978. (CE 5 is now preserved at Bright)
|
These guards vans were introduced at the same time as the AE and BE passenger cars and were a mainstay on VR passenger trains for the whole of their long lives. In later years most had sheetmetal covering the wooden sides below the bottom yellow band to prevent damage from parcels/luggage trollys
1 - 16 were built as DVE class and recoded to CE in 1910 CE's 33 - 37 were built to a newer design with plain arched roofs and 2 axle bogies in 1924. In a 1930 a replacement was built for CE 15 (destroyed in a collision at Seymour) which followed the construction style of CE's 33 - 37. |
