Swing Door (train)

Swing Door trains, commonly known as "Dogboxes" or "Doggies", were wooden-bodied electric multiple unit (EMU) trains that operated on the suburban railway network of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Swing Door cars had outward-opening doors. They were reasonably narrow, to ensure that two passing trains could not foul each other if doors were accidentally left open. At certain locations clearances were tight and there are stories of Swing Door cars losing doors that were not closed.〔(Peter J. Vincent: M - Swing Door Suburban Motor Car )〕 The fleet could be seen running in any arrangement, from one car (using a double-ended M car), up to eight cars.
==History==
The Swing Door trains were originally steam-hauled bogie passenger cars, the majority of which had been built between 1887 and 1893. When converted to electric traction between 1917 and 1924, the cars were extended by two compartments to a total length of , and then fitted onto new under-frames and bogies.〔S.E. Dornan and R.G. Henderson: (1979) ''The Electric Railways of Victoria'〕 The conversion process was suddenly halted in 1924, with partially converted cars being patched up and returned to service with their original codes and numbers.〔
Converted Swing Door cars originally entered service with class codes such as 'ACM', 'BCM', and 'ABCD', indicating both class and type. In 1921 this was largely simplified to 'M' (Motor car), 'T' (Trailer car) and 'D' (Driving trailer),〔 with the majority of trailers being made first class and motor cars second class.〔 Some exceptions were the six AM motors (1, 8, 15, 46, 65 & 78), first-class carriages allowed to work at higher rates of acceleration. These six motors were used in E-Trains, where two electric motors would run with up to six regular passenger cars/vans; at Lilydale or Frankston the motor cars would cut off and be replaced with steam engines for running to Warburton/Healesville and Mornington/Stony Point respectively.
