NRS-15264 | Locomotive periodic inspection cards

These cards record periodic mechanical inspections of locomotive engines and tenders giving the date and railway depot where the work was carried out. On some cards there is a final notation stating that the engine has been "cut up" for scrap. The cards are arranged numerically by engine number and bundled together by engine class.Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R80. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R80 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

本批档案卡片记录了机车（locomotive engine）及煤水车（tender）的周期性机械检修情况，载明了检修日期与执行检修的铁路机务段（railway depot）。部分卡片末尾标注有该机车已"拆解报废"的字样。卡片按机车编号以数字顺序排列，并按机车车型分组捆扎。
保管历史
1955年至2000年间，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设立内部档案馆，馆藏涵盖该局、其前身机构以及被政府收购的私营铁路公司的档案记录，这批记录的时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当"州铁路档案馆"关停的决议作出后，馆藏中需作为州级档案留存的部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。该批档案系列被纳入州档案管理体系的档案分类系统，并重新编号。
本档案系列原属州铁路档案馆馆藏，编号为R80系列。该系列在州铁路档案馆期间或被以R80系列标识，此前可能已被州铁路档案馆的研究人员在笔记、出版物或未刊作品中以此编号引述。
