Prototype Background

The BE class carriages were part of the Victorian Railways passenger fleet used across a wide range of services.

By the 1970s, many of these cars were operating in the standard VR Carriage Red scheme, becoming a familiar sight on interurban and country passenger trains.

These carriages were commonly marshalled with other steel passenger stock and remained in service into the early V/Line era.
