Like most railways, the TGR generated a lot of paper, both for its own internal use, and for public consumption. The items included on this page are taken from various sources, including the Tasmanian Transport Museum and private collections.
This page will be changed occasionally and will include a random selection of interesting items.

| Blank "Staff Telegram" form. Used for train working on Staff & ticket sections | Three Staff Tickets for varying sections. The blue ticket does not have stations pre-printed to allow the introduction or removal of sections from time to time. |

| Six TGR "Edmondson" suburban tickets. Tickets include both single trip and weekly tickets, and date from the late 1960s/early 1970s. | Four TGR "Paper" full fare suburban tickets. These tickets date from the 1970s. |

| Three TGR "Paper" concession suburban tickets. | Hobart Municipal Tramways Concession fare permit for 1940. The holder would have needed to catch the TGR suburban train from Claremont to the city, and then change to the Sandy Bay tram route for the remainder of the trip from home to school. |

| Transport Department "Free Pass", issued to a TGR driver in 1961 | Cover of a four page pamphlet "Save our Railways", from the mid 1970s. Probably issued by the AFULE (locomotive engineman’s union). The specifics may have changed but many of the points still remain valid today! |
