The last resting place of 202 D
29th December 2007

Some pictures of the last resting place of Tait 202D. 202D is a driving trailer, more info on this type of carriage can be found here: http://www.pjv101.net/cd/pages/c057m.htm

The location is behind the former Vulcan factory, on the corner of Bayswater Road and Mountain Highway, Bayswater, Victoria.

It's about 500m from D3 666, which is plinthed in Bayswater park. Unlike D3 666, however, it's on private land and not easily accessible.

Strangely, it's in relatively good condition, although the driver's cab has been stripped, some electrics do remain. It's also minus it's bogies.

Front/driving cab view. The bogies and buffers are missing, as is anything else that can be broken, smashed or is of any value.

The interior roof lining has fallen away - clearly due to water leaking in. Note the grab handles still intact and functional!!

Another front view. I couldn't photograph the other end - there's a wall build hard up against it.

The carriage is fairly well hidden between the concrete wall and the temprary fence and the new concrete factory going up next door.
