Under the RWA proposed zoning the Large Erecting Shop could be replaced by an up to 12 storey building and the ongoing heritage rail tours, maintenance and training could have been lost. There has been a long campaign to save the this operational heritage and RailCorps decision to retain the building for heritage rail use has been welcomed. In the campaign to save the “Large” there have been proposals made to include a tourism element along side its heritage operations. You can read more about the campaign to save the “Large” and its potential as a heritage attraction on the South Eveleigh section of the website.
