South Australian Railway & Australian National Perway Index
The Permanent Way or "Perway" drawings of SAR were contained in two areas. The first was a Perway "W" series that started in SAR and continued until the end of AN. This series was broken into different sections that is explained in the front of the index. The other drawings were listed in a Miscellaneous Perway Alphabetical index and covered drawings that were registered in the W series and the general Civil drawing series.
