dc.description.abstractPhotograph of men with wooden hinged boxes, bags and sheafs of notes held together with string in a bank interior. The men, who are probably railway employees, are dressed in suits and bowler hats. There is a pile of different sized boxes on the left. Three bank employees are lined up behind a table loaded with bags. Others are mostly seated in cubicles separated by mesh. The interior features dark timber carved screens with glass panels, fluted pillars and ornate plaster cornices and capitals. The floor has an inlaid tile pattern. The logo: BNSW is etched onto the lowest window panes .en_US

local.description.notesEllis entered NSW Railways Service in 1882 and retired May 1924. He was a fitter and turner at the Eveleigh workshops and for 13 years was examining fitter and fitter in charge of the Sydney accident train. His career in the Railways was disrupted by an incident in 1909 when he was dismissed from his position because he had suggested to the NSW Railway Commissioner that some senior officers be removed. Ellis maintained they were negligent in their duties to the safety of the train-travelling public. On 25/3/12 a Select Committee recommended that Ellis be reinstated and compensed for losses. The last was done but Chief Commissioner Johnson did not reinstate him. It was only when Johnson left NSW in 1915 that Ellis was re-employed in the workshops. In July 1926 he was a witness in the coronial inquiry into the Aberdeen railway accident of 10/6/1926.en_US
