This is a 'compiled' series comprising of the remaining records of various committees formed within the Traffic Branch. The series appears to have been bound into volumes while in the custody of the State Rail Archives The records include minutes, correspondence, blueprints, diagrams, plans, and notes. There are also reports from special investigations conducted by Traffic Branch officers. Volume One includes reports from the Sydney Terminal Committee Reports, Metropolitan Suburban Passenger Services Committee Notes, the Electrification Sub-Committee's first report plus a Special Investigation of South Coast Business. Volume Two deals with estimated future coal production and its need for consequent rail transport requirements, the upgrading of Chullora Workshops, and passenger travel in the Sydney and Newcastle suburban areas.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 R33. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R33 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

保管沿革
1955年至2000年，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设立内部档案馆，馆藏涵盖该局及其前身机构、政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录，档案时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当该机构决定关闭州铁路档案馆时，符合州档案留存要求的馆藏部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。这批档案系列被纳入新南威尔士州档案管理局的档案管控体系并重新编号。
本档案系列原隶属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时编号为R33系列。在州铁路档案馆保管期间，该卷宗可能以R33系列的标识被查阅，且此前曾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用。
