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 R5. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R5 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

馆藏保管历程：1955年至2000年间，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有内部档案馆，馆藏涵盖该局、其前身机构及政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录，时间跨度为1849年至2000年。在决定关闭“州铁路档案馆”后，符合州档案馆馆藏要求的部分藏品被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。该批档案所属的档案系列被纳入新南威尔士州档案管理局的档案管控系列体系，并重新编号。

本档案系列原属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时编号为系列R5。在州铁路档案馆存续期间，该馆藏曾以R5系列标识被查阅，且此前可能被州铁路档案馆的研究人员在笔记、已出版或未出版作品中以此编号进行标注引用。
