Series notes:
This series consists of correspondence files of the Head Quarters of Australian National Tasrail (previously Tasmanian Government Railways, then Transport Commission, Railway Branch). They are known locally as 'general files' and topics cover matters relating to the administration of the railways including staff and property files. The files were initially created and maintained in Hobart. With the take over of the Tasmanian rail system by the Commonwealth in March 1978 the Head Quarters, and the 'general files' moved to Launceston. The correspondence series continued, unaltered, after take over. The files cover administrative matters, including property and personnel. Some top-numbering of files from the previous correspondence series has taken place, apparently around the latter part of 1964. It is not uncommon for copies of original material in this series to be found in files of the three Branches.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
