The Eveleigh Carriage Workshops were built by the New South Wales Government Railways in 1888 as a depot for its passenger carriage fleet. The workshops are located west of what is now Redfern station on the northern side of the Main Suburban railway line opposite the heritage-listed Eveleigh Railway Workshops.[1]
The repair and heavy maintenance of both Sydney suburban and long-distance carriages were undertaken on site between 1888 until its closure in 1989. In 1986 the workshop was upgraded to refurbish single-deck suburban carriages.[2] Following this program ceasing the works closed in September 1989 after which it was used to store redundant carriages and to remove asbestos from locomotives and carriages.[3] [4] [5]
The western end of the site has been redeveloped as the Carriageworks theatre while the eastern end houses some of Transport for NSW's heritage fleet.[6] [7]
