Series notes:
This series consists of bound volumes of Contract Plans for the construction of various railway lines in Tasmania. A number of these volumes were prepared as part of the tendering process for the construction of the permanent way. As a condition of the tendering process the plans issued to potential contractors were required to be returned to the Tasmanian Government Railways upon completion of the tendering process. Consequently a number of duplicate sets of plans existed.

Separate volumes, depending on the complexity of the line concerned, were issued for Plan and Longitudinal Sections, Alignment and Profiles, Points and Crossings, Bridges and Culverts, Cross Sections of Earth Works, Corners and Architectural Details. Volumes are known to exist for the following lines; Apsley, Bell Bay, Chudleigh, Derwent Valley, Fingal, Melrose, Nietta, North East Dundas, North East, North West, Parattah to Oatlands, Preolenna, Sheffield, Sorell, South, Western and Zeehan.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
