History
The Sydney Electric Train Society was established in 1991. In January 1992, it operated its first tour with single deck stock across the CityRail suburban network, the last of which were about to be withdrawn.
In 1998, it purchased four Tulloch power cars from the State Rail Authority along with some U set stock. It has since expanded its collection with 46, 85 and 86 class locomotives, one Bradfield and two Suburban power cars acquired from RailCorp and a Sydney Monorail. Some items are stabled at the Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre and Junee Roundhouse Museum.
Publication
The society publishes Under the Wires, a bi-monthly magazine.
