Summary

Railway passenger car 4, Port Broughton. These horse drawn cars were a cross between a railway car and a horse tram and were used on the Port Broughton to Mundoora tramway, also known as the Barunga Range railway. The line was opened on 11th March 1876 but was often operated at a loss. During 1926 a kerosene Fordson rail tractor replaced the horse operation between Port Broughton and Mundoora and this vehicle continued to shunt the jetty after the closure of the through working in 1942. This information (and more) is from the 'Trolley Wire', December 1982, on the Sydney Tramway Museum website.
