Railcars on the Port Lincoln Division

The following is a listing of all railcars and railcar trailers that have worked on the Port Lincoln Division, to the best of my knowledge. Other vehicles (primarily passenger cars and brakevans) were also hauled behind railcars - those trailers listed here were those built as such. Please email me with any corrections.
