The "EC" employees van were converted from South Australian Railways passenger cars that had been purchased by the Commonwealth Railways in 1961.
No evidence exist of any of the carriages actually being used on trains before being converted to employees vans. They had all been out of service on the South Australian Railways for some time prior to the sale so it is likely that they were purchased specifically for conversion.
