Stockpiling of suburban passengers

The first railway line in Sydney opened in 1855 between Sydney and Granville, now a suburb of Sydney but then a major agricultural center. The railway line became the base of the New South Wales Government Railway. Passenger and delivery services are operated from scratch. In 1880, there was a half hour service to Homebush.

One deck car

wooden deck car 1920

In the 1920s, Bradfield's electrification program began. Until then, the railway continued to be the final wheeler cars made of steam. In 1921, 101 wooden bodies driving motorcycles (then numbered C3000-3100) were built by Ritchie Brothers and Meadowbank Manufacturing Company C3045 (now preserved) built by the railway workshop as a prototype, but became the last to enter traffic in 1923. They were originally EBB/EFA steam-transported cars, before conversion to electric traction with the opening of the first part of the electrification path between Sydney and Oatley in 1926. These wooden cars had a steel sheath for extra strength, and came to be known as Bradfield cars. Some Bradfield cars converted into van parcel after the accident. Other Bradfield cars were rebuilt to resemble standard Suburban (1927-type) cars in the 1960s, to extend their lives until new double deck cars could be shipped to replace them. The last Bradfield power-car was withdrawn from service in 1975. The C3045 is preserved statically at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere, while the C3082 has been retained by RailCorp. C3082, the former "Pilot" Shunter Elcar, was used on a number of single deck railfan tours in the 1980s, often with T4279 wood trailer cars.

At the same time, 193 final rebuilt cars were built into 184 electric-driven cars (T4101-4284) and nine carriage vehicles (D4001 to 4009). They were in service longer than intended, which was eventually replaced by a single deck Tulloch, and then a double deck, a trailer from 1950 onwards. D4001 and 4006 converted into trailers driving Parcel Vans. The T4279 is preserved and has been used on many single-deck relfan tours in the 1980s and early 1990s. D4004 is also preserved waiting for recovery, but it can not be operated.

1925 all steel cars

With plans for the opening of underground lines and electrification of Sydney, it is proposed to build suburban cars with steel bodies. Since no such car was built in Australia before, 50 early cars (numbered 3101-3150) were built by the Leeds Forge Company in England and assembled at the Eveleigh Carriage Workshop and Clyde Engineering between April and October 1925. Initially numbering 2213-2262, they entered services put into sets with Bradfield carriages to be transported by steam locomotives until fitted with Metropolitan-Vickers electric and motor equipment in 1926. At this stage they were numbered C3101 to C3150.

1926-1960 single-deck steel car

Between 1926 and 1960, a total of 417 motor cars and 417 trailers were built by various contractors including Leeds Forge Company, Walsh Island Dockyard, Clyde Engineering, Tulloch Limited and Comeng. This type of pre-war "1927" car was known as the "Standard" car as they dominated the suburban fleet, and featured First and Second Class travel until 1 January 1940. More cars (the majority are trailer cars), delivered by Tulloch Limited between 1940 and 1957 to serve the expansion of the system, and to replace many of the car trailers of decrepit timber. 80 cars built by Comeng from 1957 to 1960 (40 motorcycles and 40 carriages) are known as Sputnik cars. They have 4 power-operated doors on each side and welded-place construction. These cars were introduced at the time of the electrification extension from Parramatta to Penrith. A set of Tulloch 8 cars was equipped with power-doors and ran from 1956 to 1976 as arranged by F39. Between 1968 & amp; 1973, 97 Standard & amp; Tulloch cars were converted from two to four motorcycles to new rider airs for better performance and adhesion, starting with the C7500 (ex C3500). This single set of dual electric circuits (EMUs) is the backbone of Sydney's suburban network until the stainless-steel double deck car from S (and then C, K & amp; R) sets takes over. The latter of Sputnik had their last retirement in 1993. Many cars were painted blue & amp; white during PTC years from 1972 onwards, and last blue & amp; white cars were repainted in 1987. Several cars were equipped with a Shear slide window during overhaul as a cost-cutting measure (see photo). After 1976, they brought deep Indian Red livery until they retired. In 1991, an eight-set H22 car was painted in a special outfit to promote the Taronga Zoo. Two power-door W-sets are painted with a special shade for Zoo (W1) and to mark Sydney's Sesqicentenary (W2). Many of the cars were piloted with Tulloch trailer decks (see below) to form 4 or 8 carriages consisting of single and double mounted sets. In their last years, these cars became associated with the term 'red rattles' by the State Government and the media, because the way windows and windows crunched in their frames. On June 10, 2016, C7396, T4527, C3218 and C3426 preserved cars were restored to operational status by Sydney Trains in association with Historic Electric Traction. This set of trains, now known as Red Set F1, operates occasional special passenger journeys through the NSW Transport Heritage. At age 90, Set F1 is now among the world's oldest fully operated electric train sets.

Two-deck car

Tulloch double deck trailer 1964 (1964-2003)

In the 1960s, the tender was called for a two-passenger electric passenger car. In 1964, the first of 120 Tulloch trailers was delivered, and integrated into a set of decks. The cars were built by Tulloch Limited, and numbered 4801-4920, operating only in Circle City, South, Bankstown, East Hills and Inner West Lines (Sector 2). They consist of a normal floor above the bogies, with double deck passengers between bogies. The cars were mostly covered with aluminum, with a steel bottom frame. They carry a green internal livery and painted Tuscan Red on the outside with a painted silver roof to match a single deck carriage. For the first time in Sydney, internal fluorescent lighting and air suspension bogies are used. 40 initial cars are used in power door sets, the rest are set non-powered doors, and they replace the remaining wooden trailer car. In 1987, the W-set T4834-4838 trailer was converted into manual M-set doors with their electric doors disconnected, and rewired from 120 to 32 volts. The Tullochs are painted in today's color scheme (blue & red white and then red Indian). Car T4839 until 4895 then painted gray and arranged into sets containing Comeng & amp; Goninan double deck car (see below) as' R & amp; Set S '. Cars T4834-4838 and 4896-4920 continue to operate with older single-deck motor cars as 'M Sets'. The W set trailer (T4801-4833) and M set trailer (T4834-4838 and 4896-4920) were withdrawn in 1994 with retirement from all single stocks on the fringe of the deck, cars driven by Comeng electric cars in W set saw service until February 2004, prior to the introduction of Millennium Trains. Cars 4801, 4814, 4840, 4843, 4844, 4849, 4850 4854, 4874, 4881, 4799 have been stored for preservation.

1968_prototype_double-deck_power_cars_.281968.E2.80.931980.29 "> 1968 prototype car two-deck car (1968- 1980 )

In 1966, after the success of Tulloch double-deck trailer, the tender was called for a double deck motor vehicle. In 1968, four experimental double-deck (C3801-3804) cars were built by Tulloch and entered service allowing the first eight-car double deck trains, arranging the S10, to operate by steering it with four Tulloch T4839, 4840, 4843 and 4844 trailers. This is the first fully-equipped two-passenger Electric passenger train in the world.

Each electric car carries electrical equipment from various manufacturers for evaluation purposes: C3801 (Mitsubishi), 3802 (Toshiba), 3803 (Hitachi) and 3804 (Electrical English). The S10 set proved to be unreliable and single-deck "Sputnik" C3701-series power-cars were often represented for Tulloch electric cars out of service. In 1977, it was decided to dissolve the sets to convert them to the trailer. The C3801 was converted to T4797 in 1980 and C3803 to T4799 in 1982. The conversion of the C3802 to the T4798 began in the Elcar Workshops, but was never completed and then removed. The C3804 is now preserved at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere. It was withdrawn from service on January 4, 1980.

This trailer operates on:

• South Line - City Circle to Macarthur via Granville
• Inner West Line - City Circle to Liverpool via Regents Park
• Bankstown Line - City Circle to Liverpool via Bankstown
• East Hills Line - City Circle to Macarthur via Sydenham (then via Airport Line in 2000-2003)

1972 Compact powered car

In 1972, power-cars powered double deck from Comeng was first built. These cars (C3805-3857) are loosely based on recently introduced inter-urban cars, V devices. Their stainless steel bodies are painted the standard "Tuscan red" to match the livery of the existing fleet. The C3844-3857 cars were shipped in blue and white livery from the Public Transport Commission in the 1970s, and repainted to Indian reds after 1976, before stripped of paint to run in their original stainless steel in the early 1980s. They were originally marshalled into sets (from S11 onwards) with Tulloch T4841, 4842, and 4845 to 4895 trailers, whose passenger doors were modified from manual operation to power. Internally, they have an inverted seat with a light-brown coating, and an internal gray and white shades. The Bleeder sliding window is attached to the upper and lower deck, with the window falling on the door. The sliding windows were replaced with Hopper windows in the 1990s and internally they were painted light gray with blue plated seating. These motor cars have a tapered end, which was fitted with a goal board in the 1990s. With the introduction of Millennium Trains in 2002, some early Comeng electric cars were converted into non-driving trailers, with their pantographs removed, and numbered back T4701-4723.

1973 Car comeng and trailer car

In 1973, an additional 54 Comeng C3858 - 3911 electric cars, and 56 Comeng T4921 - 4962 trailer cars, were ordered to coincide with the opening of the Eastern subway line. These trailer cars are the first of stainless steel construction, and they have an additional row seat on the upper deck (and thus distinguished by one extra window in the center of the car on both decks). Ten driving trailers D4011 - 4020 are built with a small driver compartment for the 2 car trains. However, they never see service as a driving car because of Union ban. Furthermore, 25 D4021 - 4045 trailer trailer cars (with large guard compartments) are also built to be paired with motor drive to allow 2 sets of cars to operate. Ten drove-driven trailers are diesel transported at the South Coast suburb service, south of Thirroul, before electrification. Ten driving trailers, number D4001 - 4010, were used for two car transports in the early period after the electrification of the Richmond line. The trailer cars that drove the car were later removed and converted into non-standard trailer cars. Extended orders view Comeng-deck fleet ship expanded to include power-car C3912-3986 & amp; 3741-3765, T4963-4987 trailer and D4046-4095 drive trailer in 1982. In 1976, a quarter of the suburban cars were double decks. All 1973 cars are now integrated with previous stock and operate as L, R & amp; Set S. With the introduction of Millennium Trains in 2002, some early Comeng electric cars were converted into non-driving trailers, with pantographs removed, and numbered back T4701-4723.

1978 Goninan car

In the 1970s, A Goninan & amp; Co. in Newcastle entered the passenger car construction market building 80 electric cars C3001 - 3080 and 70 T4101 - 4170 trailer cars. Unlike Comeng cars, electric cars have flat front and flute Standard Pullman, and the upper deck passenger windows are installed significantly lower than the Comeng car previously reduced the line of sight of passengers (source of complaints from passengers). When the Eastern Suburbs Railway opened in 1979, only Comeng or Goninan double deck cars were intended to operate on this line, but the painted double-deck Tulloch trailer was also used. In 1981, a new car set of Goninan sets four cars delivering Queen Elizabeth II from Bankstown (declared as City by the Queen) to Martin Place. For this occasion the train is specially equipped with carpets and other improvements. Set targeted "R1" for this event. These cars continued to operate in 2007 as sets L, R and S. They are the only non-AC passenger train operating in Sydney.

Two-thirds of the existing non-air rolling stocks in 1981 have been withdrawn from service since 2012 with the launch of 626 new wagons set of Waratah (78 sets) completed in June 2014. The final set is scheduled for withdrawal from service in 2015 but some sets will be retained for South West Rail connections as no new rollingstock or additional Waratah railway has been booked. In December 2016, the NSW Government announced plans to introduce 192 new wagons Waratah also known as B sets. This will allow them to replace all remaining S sets in the service that will start from mid 2018 onwards.

1981 Power and Goninan trailer

In 1981, Goninan built the first air-conditioned car for the Sydney suburb network. Until then, Sydney has lagged behind other cities that started the introduction of air-conditioned stock. In order to fit the AC equipment into the motor car, the pantograph is moved to the trailer, effectively meaning that the motor car must remain semi-permanently coupled to the trailer car. Four D4096-4099 trailer trailer cars are also booked, enabling the 2-car set to be operated with a C3501-3504 power car. The first 8 sets of cars (R1) were delivered with air conditioning, followed by 90 forced C3505-3549 & amp; T4171-4215, during shipping process for this order, C3550 and T4216 are shipped, fully equipped with AC.

Following this, subsequent orders, numbered from the C3551 and T4217, are also equipped with forced air vents, and are the first to be equipped with air conditioning. The first 100 cars had their upper deck windows at the unpopular lows of the previous Goninan, 60 modified finals and 60 finals were distinguished by their front end painted into a white, orange and red 'Rail' livery. time. The last batch (C3551-3580 & amp; T4217-4246) also features a bright yellow internal wall. The forced ventilation cars were then installed with air conditioning, and the Beclawat's sliding window was replaced with fixed panels in the late 1990s. Also today, a standard light gray internal livery is adopted, and the seat is replaced with a blue seat. 160 cars were delivered until 1985, and continued to operate in 2011 as K sets.

1985 Goninan car

In 1985, a new generation of advanced suburban passenger trains was being considered by the State Railway Authority. There was a delay in the construction of this railway, and 56 cars using air conditioning, C3581-3608 and T4247-4274, were built by Goninan, known as 'Chopper Cars' for their helicopter control. These cars test some of the features of next-generation cars, such as fixed seating, door bells and passenger address systems. They were originally equipped with push-button features, to allow passengers to open the door manually, but this feature was short-lived. They retained the flat edges of the Goninan's car before, but with the addition of the fiberglass fi nish fi ber that was initially white with orange and red lines ('State Rail Rail' livery). These ends are then painted gray with the lower yellow parts they retain to this day, and internally the standard gray and blue seat seats are applied. These cars continue to operate as sets C.

Tangaras

In 1988, the "third generation" train, called Tangara - the original word meaning "to go", was introduced. This train marks a radical departure from the previous dual deck car design both in appearance and technically. Tangara is the last funded electric rolling stock built for CityRail - all future electric trains are under construction and operated under a public-private partnership agreement. A total of 450 T set cars were introduced between 1988 and 1994, enabling the recall of the remaining single-passenger passenger cars in 1993.

Eighty Gs specify cars that have toilets, reversible seating and open door controls supported by large passengers built between 1994 and 1996. These are generally operated on outer-suburban travel, usually to Wollongong, Springwood and Gosford, though sometimes also operated in suburban services. This outer-suburban set allows for the resignation of the final single U deck set in 1996. A set, G7, is experimentally equipped with double voltage A/C traction. This set was badly damaged in a waterfall train accident in January 2003 and was removed after completing a coronal investigation into the accident.

In 2010 an improvement program started for all Tangaras, which at that time was almost 20 years old and showed signs of deterioration. This work involves reinforced chairs, new floor and handrails, relocating the ends of the saloon and complete internal painting. The doors and grip of inter-car cars are repainted yellow, and the interior shares common equipment with Millennium and OSCAR cars. The former G out-of-town defender has been re-targeted as a T set from T101 and above and the cars are coded from OD, ON and ONL to D & amp suburbs; N codings, retaining the same 58xx and 68xx series numbers. The used car ONL has a toilet and water cooler that is discarded and replaced with elongated seating, but no luggage racks are found elsewhere in this car.

Millennium

From 2002, 140 "fourth generation" carriages were introduced, known as the Millennium train or set M. This train allows the recall of Tulloch trailer cars. This is the first passenger train in NSW to introduce the look of passenger information automatically and announcement. The M set design is formed base for the design of sets H and A set. Since these trains are maintained by Downer Rail at a facility in Eveleigh, they are basically captured in Sector 2 (Inner West, Bankstown, East Hills train lines, Liverpool & Campbelltown services).

While the Millennium train is suitable for division into four sets of cars, they are usually still combined as an eight-set car at all times.

Waratah

The Waratah set (also called A set) is a double-decker, air-conditioned train based on the Millenium train, ordering it for 78 sets of eight cars per train. The body frame was built in China and completed in Newcastle, New South Wales by a joint venture between the NSW Government, Downer Rail, and other companies under a public-private partnership, with deliveries between 2011 and 2014 to replace the now drawn 6 8 R & ; S Set trains. The first set went into regular service on July 1, 2011 on the Macarthur-East Hills-Airport line with the final set being delivered in mid-2014.

The New South Wales government announced on December 1, 2016 that 24 new suburban trains have been booked. Known as the Sydney Growth Train during development, these trains are officially classified as a B device and are also known as Waratah Series 2 trains. A $ 1.7 billion contract was awarded to Downer EDI. CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles is manufacturing and dispatching train corpses to Downer EDI, which assembles it. More than 90 percent of the design is shared with the original Waratah. B first set was inaugurated at Auburn in March 2018 and will undergo three months of testing before entering service in June. Set B now tends to replace the remaining 24 S sets.

Inter-urban passenger cars

The electrification of railways outside Sydney began in the 1950s and required the introduction of electric passenger stocks with toilets and increased levels of ease.

Single-deck intercity car

80 early electric interurban passenger cars (40 "CF" 5001-5040 electric cars, 20 "TF" trailer cars 6001-6020 and 20 "ETB" 6021-6040 trailer cars) were introduced since 1958 to coincide with Blue Electrification Line to Bowenfels line. The train is similar in outward appearance to a single deck beachside car but slightly narrower (for 2 2 across the seats), built of stainless steel and corridor connectors between the cars. This train carries the target plate 'U', and becomes known as 'U Boats'. They displayed First and Second Class accommodation until 1974, when they became "a class". First Class (in an ETB trailer) can be identified by a blue covered seat (as opposed to a second class green chair), carpet on the floor and ashtray in the smoking section. Their operational scope spread from Lithgow/Bowenfels and Gosford to include Port Kembla, Dapto and Newcastle until their last death in 1996. They have been used on many rail tours since the 1960s, sometimes transported outside the electrically operated area. Three electric cars and two carriages have been preserved by the Sydney Electric Train Society. Other U Boats have been privately preserved, and many are sold to private buyers for various uses after withdrawal.

Two-deck inter-urban car

Introduced since 1970, these deck-deck cars actually precede the first double deck set in the suburbs. Explained at the time as 'the world's most luxurious commuter stock', they set a new benchmark for passenger comfort in Sydney. Initial service limited to Central Coast & amp; The Newcastle line until they could be used in the Blue Mountains Line after the Glenbrook tunnel was expanded in 1975. They were able to continue as far as Lithgow after the Lithgow tunnel was widened in 1979. The service started on the Illawarra line after electrification in 1985. Initially this set brought the target plate 'U '. The next order of the double deck car carries the 'V' plate to establish a set equipped with a vacuum toilet. The original 1970 cars were unsuccessful, and they were rebuilt into trailers to run in intergroup cars later in the early 1980s. These cars can then be identified with seats with orange plastic surrounds, and they have no doors between the passenger compartment and the small entrance/exit area. The second series of V-Sets (DCM/DM) began to be removed in early 2011, to be replaced by Oscars. When NSW TrainLink was established in 2013, the V series is subject to an improvement program that involves repainting and refinement of new exterior and exterior parts. The remaining V sets are expected to begin to be replaced by 2024 when the new Intercity train is introduced.

OSCAR

H set (OSCARs, for outer-suburb CAR), was launched on April 24, 2006. Set H was principally built to replace G set Tangaras on out-of-town services and the original order of V sets. They have reversible seats that are identical to the Hunter cart, and one defective toilet per set of four cars, while the vestibule features elongated seating and handrails on the ceiling. They run to Newcastle, Springwood and Kiama/Port Kembla. These cars are built by UGL Rail. When the new Intercity train was introduced in 2019 to replace the V set, several H sets will also be moved and moved to the Sydney Trains suburban network.

Suburban passenger train/diuretic interurban

South Maitland Railways railway

In 1961, three self-propelled diesel cars were introduced by South Maitland Railway (SMR), a private railway in the Hunter Valley. These cars are built by Tulloch Limited of Rhodes, and are able to run independently or in multi-unit formations. Passenger capacity is for 80 people. Passenger service is operated between Cessnock and Maitland, connecting with the New South Wales Government Railway service to Newcastle. The service was operated until 1967, when SMR left the passenger carriage business and the NSWGR took responsibility for limited passenger services to Cessnock. The cars were sold and disposed of in 1976.

620/720-class diesel rail motor

Eighteen self-built two-wheeled 620/720 self-rail cars were introduced between 1961 and 1968, built at the New South Wales Chullora Railroad Workshop. They are the last passenger train built by government workshops in NSW. They are based on 600/700 and 900/800 classroom railcars and are built for suburban and regional jobs, although they see service on Wollongong service before electrification, and rural services for Cowra, Mudgee, Grafton and Murwillumbah. Three sets are built with first and second class accommodation and are used for state services, the rest are only single class (second class originally designated). They have served non-electric and pre-electric parts of suburban and suburban Sydney suburban passenger networks - they saw service on the Richmond line until the completion of electrification work in the 1990s. After the abolition of many state services and electrification of the South Coast Line in 1985 and the Richmond line in the 1990s, they saw service in the Far South Coast line and the Southern Highlands line. At the introduction, they are painted red tuscan. From the 1970s, some brought Indian red livery. In 1980, some were painted in reverse style with a yellow front end. From 1982 'candy' is bright red, with orange, yellow and white trims introduced throughout the system and the 620/720 class is no exception. In the 1990s, they were re-colored from 'candies' to livery 'legacy' reminiscent of previous tuscan paint schemes, before adopting CityRail's corporate style of gray and blue in the 2000s. After the introduction of the Endeavor railway in 1994, their numbers were reduced to seven sets of two cars, and they were all withdrawn from service during 2007.

Some of these sets have been preserved, with 621/721 repainted into the 1960s Indian red livery with buff lining by the Rail Motor Society. This set has been seen used on fans' tour. At least one other set is under the restoration of the original external and internal conditions.

Endeavor trains

28 Endeavor trains were introduced from 1994 to operate a non-electrified CityRail line to replace the old DEB trains and some 620/720 class railcars. They currently operate in the Southern Highlands line, the Illawarra line between Kiama and Bomaderry, Bathurst Bullets on the Main Western line and the Hunter line. They previously operated a weekend service on the Moss Vale - Unanderra line. They operate as two or four sets of cars. Some cars are converted into Xplorers, which are technically and mechanically identical to them.

Hunter_railcars Hunter sled

In 2006, 14 Hunter train tracks were ordered to replace the 620/720 classroom railcars. They are a new type of diesel unit used on the Newcastle-based Hunter Valley line. The Hunter train was built by United Goninan and shared Newcastle to Maitland, Telarah and Dungog regional services with the Endeavor railroad tracks. This design comes from a new generation of Transwa Prospector, except that the lower upper speed requirements for the Hunter railway line mean that the driving cars are each single-engine and not twin-engine.

Country passenger trains

CPH ( Tin Hare ) railmotors

The CPH railway line was introduced since 1923 to provide feeder services on branch lines of the country. They operated many branch line services in the southern part of the country until their widespread withdrawal in 1974. They also provided pre-electrification services on the Richmond line, late at night Clyde - Carlingford, Sutherland - Waterfalls on the Illawarra and Pippita & The Abbatoir state lines in suburban Sydney until they are officially withdrawn by the Nov. 27, 1983 schedule. A number of CPH railway tracks worked the suburban service of Wollongong for several months thereafter. Many of these veteran rail motors are preserved and still operating. Following the failure of 620 railcars to enter through the Fernleigh tunnel, the CPH relmotors also provide passenger services from Newcastle to Belmont.

Creamy Kate and Trailer

After the accident at Bowning, where several passenger cars were damaged, two lower frames were rescued. Around two lower chassis, a two-engined railmotor and stewardess are built. The motor car was numbered CHP38 and trailer 81. It spent most of its days on the branch line from Narrandera. The trailer 81 was finally rebuilt and re-numbered the FT551 and worked at Sutherland to Waterfall shuttles with conventional CPH railways until electrification in July 1980.

Silver City Comet

This self-propelled diesel passenger train was introduced in 1937 and operated between Parkes and Broken Hill. During World War II, they were also used in several intercity trips from Sydney to Canberra and Newcastle. Together with the "Spirit of Progress" of the Victorian Railways, it was the first AC train in the United Kingdom.

When it was introduced, it was originally painted silver, to reflect the harsh heat of the western plains. After World War II, Silver City Comet set was repainted in NSWGR tuscan & amp; russet, then red Indian redies. Before the 50th anniversary of Comet City Silver in 1987, he returned to the original silver livery. Comet City Silver was withdrawn in 1989. The majority of the remaining Silver City Comet fleets have been preserved under static conditions.

diesel rail motor class 900/800

Ten 600/700 diesel rail motor sets were introduced since 1949 to operate passenger branch lines, the first first service from Dubbo to Coonamble. From 1955 to 1990, the air-conditioned 800/900 class train, known as the DEB set, provided services to Canberra as Canberra Monaro Express, replacing the vapor transported by Federal City Express >. The DEB set is also used on several South Coast Line and Southern Highlands Line line services until it was replaced by the Endeavor train in 1994.

XPT

The XPT (express passenger train) is the mainstay of the NSW state passenger rail network. Modeled on the UK HST and introduced since 1982, they currently provide services from Sydney to Melbourne, Brisbane, Dubbo, Grafton and Casino. A composed XPT can vary between four to seven cars depending on demand. Initially, XPT was painted with a predominantly red pattern, with black and orange also used in livery and signature InterCity XPT on electric cars. The initial impact of the flashy livery of XPT provides inspiration for the "candy-stripe" livery to be applied to SRA locomotives and interurban & amp; the country's passenger car fleet from 1982. The first CountryLink painting was introduced in 1991, and updated into a new CountryLink livery in 2008. The XP2000 class leader has appeared in a number of special songs for the Sydney 2000 Games and 2001 Centenary of Federation. In the early 1990s, XAM sleepers were added to the interstate of XPT consisting of protests arising from cancellation of locomotives transported seated & amp; car trains sleeping Brisbane Limited and Pacific Coast Motorail in 1990.
