The series are red-covered books of varying size recording physical features along railway lines, including station arrangements and sidings, and the distance from Sydney Central Station. Entries are mostly in pencil with place names and dates in ink. They are annotated with dates of removal, renewal or filling in for infrastructure such as box drains or platforms.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 R363. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R363 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

保管历史：1955年至2000年，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设立并维护了内部档案馆，馆藏涵盖该局、其前身主管机构以及政府接管的私营铁路公司的全部档案记录，档案时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当决策关停“州铁路档案馆”时，符合新南威尔士州档案馆馆藏标准的藏品部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。该系列档案被纳入新南威尔士州档案管理局的档案序列管控体系，并重新赋予馆藏编号。

本系列原隶属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时的馆藏编号为R363系列。在州铁路档案馆存续期间，该藏品即以R363系列的身份被查阅，且此前可能已被该馆研究人员在笔记、正式出版物或未刊作品中以此编号加以引用。
