This series consists of a set of register card to the architectural drawings produced by the Civil Engineering Branch of the Tasmanian Government Railways/(from 1978) Australian National Tasrail. The cards are housed in a folding portable metal case. A photocopy of the register cards has been produced by National Archives, annotated to show the dates of the drawings, which are not shown on the original. The register is entitled "Index to filing system - Works Section". It is divided into the following sections;

A - Launceston and facilities,

B - Hobart and facilities,

C - Main Line (Hobart to Western Junction),

D - Derwent Valley Line,

E - Fingal Line,

F -North Eastern Line,

G - Western Line and Branches,

H - Launceston (surveys, site plans and drainage),

J - Main Line and Branches (surveys, site plans and drainage),

K - Western Line and Branches (surveys, site plans and drainage),

L - Cottages and Flats generally,

M - Buildings and structures generally,

N - General Details,

W - Charts and Graphs,

X - Drawings (not departmental),

A-V - Tool Annexe.

Some of these sections have been further sub-divided. Drawings relating to structures along railway lines have their position indicated in the drawing number by the first digit. This is expressed as the number and part thereof of miles from the nominated beginning of the line. The second digit is a consecutive drawing number. When using the index, it is entered from the bottom of the page to the top of the page. Where 'ditto's' have been used to repeat part of a title this is also the case.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
