St Kilda Line Electric Dogbox suburban Trains.
The early so called dogbox type of electric trains of the Victorian Railways suburban system taken between Middle Park and South Melbourne on the St Kilda line. Their nickname comes from their compartment type accommodation with a swing door on each side of each compartment. Their electrical equipment was the same as that of the later Tait suburban trains and they could therefore be used together with the Tait cars. A number of these swing door type cars were not converted to electric multiple unit suburban train use and were used as passenger/guards cars on country trains. Four of these were used in the 1960s on the school train between Warragul and Dandenong.
