Title
View of a First Class Carriage, East-West Express
Description

The Trans-Australian Express Passenger train ran between Port Augusta (and later from Port Pirie) and Kalgoorlie. It began in 1917 (sometimes under the name of the Transcontinental or East West Express) and was eventually cancelled in 1991 by the Commonwealth Railways successor organisation Australian National following severely reduced patronage and major cut backs in the frequency of the service. Initially it was all sleeping class with only irregular sit-up passenger accommodation being provided. In the 1960s regular sit-up carriages was incorporated, but this was eventually withdrawn.

Sit-up was again introduced in 1981 when it was added to the Trans-Australian and Indian Pacific services.
