Under the Wires Part 6 – The VR E-Class Electrics is a photographic profile documenting the Victorian Railways E-Class electric locomotives, compiled by Neville Gee. Introduced in 1923 shortly after the electrification of Melbourne’s suburban rail network, the E-Class shared electrical and traction equipment with the early suburban electric multiple unit fleet and remained in service until 1984.

These locomotives were primarily used for suburban goods services and shunting operations, playing a vital role in Melbourne’s electrified network for over six decades. This volume features a comprehensive selection of colour photographs, capturing the E-Class in action on suburban goods trains, at yards, and performing shunting duties across Victoria.

Presented in a 56-page, full-colour photographic album, this book is an essential reference for Victorian railway historians, electric locomotive enthusiasts, modellers, and Australian rail book collectors.
