Two types of steel bodied air-conditioned carriage stock are used on long distance Queensland Rail services. ==M series== In January 1950, Queensland Railways awarded a contract for 99 steel bodied carriages to Commonwealth Engineering, Rocklea. These were purchased to operate the ''Lander'' series of trains, ''The Inlander'', ''The Midlander'', ''The Sunlander'' and ''The Westlander'' entering service between 1953 and 1955. The original order of 99 cars was for:〔 * 8 x MPC class power generation vans * 8 x MMV class mail vans * 14 x MBC class luggage vans * 6 x MDC class dining cars * 10 x MAL class first class sitting cars (36 seats) * 14 x MBL class second class sitting cars (52 seats) * 3 x MCL class composite sitting cars (18 first class, 24 second class seats) * 15 x MAS class first class sleeping cars (14 berths) * 15 x MBS class second class sitting cars (24 berths) * 6 x MCS class composite sleeping cars (8 first class, 9 second class berths) In 2007 as well as 2010, Queensland Rail projected that the 80 remaining 'M' series carriages would have to be removed from service by December 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.qao.qld.gov.au/files/file/Reports%20and%20publications/Reports%20to%20Parliament%202014-15/RtP8TraveltrainrenewalSunlander14.pdf )〕 With the replacement of The Sunlander by the Spirit of Queensland, the 'M' series carriages were retired from all Traveltrain services in December 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queensland Railways steel carriage stock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
