South Australian Railways Brill railcar

Introduced to run on country rail services, the "Barwell Bulls" serviced most of the state's railway lines until they were eventually replaced by both the Bluebird and Redhen railcars, with the last units withdrawn from SAR service in 1971.

In 1955 the SAR introduced its Bluebird and Redhen railcars, and therefore the "Barwell Bulls"-nicknamed after the then Premier of South Australia and the sound that the air horn emitted-were eventually moved to suburban services in Adelaide and its surrounding suburbs.
