A few of Adelaide’s ageing diesel traveler trains could be almost a split
century old before they may be retired because of delays within electrifying the
state’s teach network.
The Transport Division has called a tender to check into whether it will be
safe to increase the life of the 3000 as well as 3100 series of trains -- the
mainstay of the track network - from three decades to a minimum 45 years.
Files reveal the department desires a structural assessment from the
70-strong fleet, saying a few trains are suffering splits in their bogies and
motor parts and that it may not become safe to extend their life-span.
“Traction and power aspects of these railcars are achieving the end of their
useful living, and some replacement parts are no longer available, ” the
documents say.
“Various projects have been proposed to give the life of traction and also
power components; any of these might require significant investment which could
only provide value... when the railcars were used for a long period in the order
associated with 15 years. ”
The actual Transport Department has thirty 3000-series railcars and forty
3100-series railcars, manufactured correspondingly in two batches through Comeng
in 1987 in order to 1988 and Clyde Anatomist in 1992 to 1996.
