Series notes:
This series consists of Cottage files of the Civil Engineering Branch. The cottages were used to house railway employees at various locations around Tasmania. All cottages have now been either sold to their former inhabitants or the public by tender. Some were transferred to the Housing Department. The date of sale is marked on the file cover in red.

The files consist of correspondence relating to the administration and rental of the cottages, including their disposal. Many of the files are part files for which the earlier parts have not been located. The files are in Transport Department file covers. The related Civil Engineering correspondence file number is marked on the front cover.

At 1991 only 12 cottages were still listed on the AN Tasrail Assets Register. They were No 40 - Lowdina, No 117 - Fitzgerald, No 162 - Perth, No 169 - Hagley, No 184 - Kimberly, No 222 - Seabrook, No 232 - Myalla, No 281 & 282 - Smithton, No 369 & 383 Bridgewater and No 612 - Longford.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
