NRS-15602 | State Rail News

This newsletter was produced for all State Rail staff to keep them informed of the Authority’s official activities and to promote staff achievements. It provided staff with news from all business groups within the Authority. State Rail News was issued monthly (except for January) and the glossy newspaper-style format included colour photographs. State Rail News replaced City Rail’s newsletter City Rail, and the newsletter produced for Freight Rail and CountryLink staff, Xpress. 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 R67 "In-house publications". It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R67 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works. State Rail series R67 was separated into 14 individual series.
