South Australian Railways Brill railcar : ウィキペディア英語版 | South Australian Railways Brill railcar
The South Australian Railways Model 55 and 75 Brill railcars were two types of railcars that served the South Australian Railways for several decades (1925–1971). Introduced to run on country rail services, the "Barwell Bulls" serviced most of the state's railway lines until they were eventually replaced by both the Bluebird and Redhen railcars, with the last units withdrawn from SAR service in 1971. == Background == In 1924, the South Australian Railways (SAR) decided to order a group of railcars in order to continue services at country stations that didn't have enough passenger numbers to make those services financially viable. J.G. Brill were contracted to supply twelve railcar chassis, which would be mated to bodies constructed by the SAR's own Islington Workshops. Eventually these railcars entered service during 1924 and 1925 as the Model 55 railcar class, and overnight these trains were a success. Two years later the Brill company supplied the SAR with an improved version of the railcar, known as the Model 75 within the SAR and soon after 24 Model 75s and 25 trailers were under construction at Islington Workshops, and during 1927 these entered service. Like the 55s before it these were intended for country services, but the main difference was the engine choice (the 75s had 186 hp Winton Model 110 six-cylinder engines versus the 68 hp Midewest fours found on the 55s).
