Prior to 1874 the broad gauge carriages of the South Australian Railways were numbered by type. This means thatyou have a first class car number 1, a second class car numbered 1 and also a third class car numbered 1. Around 1874 all the existing rollingstock was renumbered so that all passenger rollingstock had a unique number.

Listed below are the rollingstock vehicles which entered service prior to the general renumbering. Those that existed at the time of the renumbering would have been issued with new numbers.
