A modern Mariyung double-decker intercity train travelling away from the camera with the rear of the train visible, along curved tracks on top of a causeway. There is a pair of tracks, and the train is travelling on the left track. The train is mostly silver with orange-accented doors and black highlights. The electronic destination board is labelled "Newcastle Intg". Overhead wires are visible with a rusty supporting pole out of focus to the left of the frame. In the foreground, a bright blue telephone box and some locked steel boxes are visible. The background has green forested hills and a body of water (Mullet Creek) is visible to the right of the causeway. The sky is clear with scattered clouds and it is broad daylight.

An electronic passenger information screen mounted near the ceiling, bordered in black. Displayed on the screen is stop information, showing that the next stop is "Hawkesbury R", and that the proceeding stations are Cowan (only accessible from Cars 5-8) in 10 minutes and Berowra in 15 minutes. Above the list of stations the current time is shown as 13:21 and on the far right of the screen the car number is listed in as "Car 7". The ceiling panels are a clean white colour and an out of focus bright yellow grab handle is visible to the top of the frame. The overall lighting is warm.

Looking into the rail corridor from the end of the platform, a signal can be seen prominently to the left of the frame, displaying two red aspects with a small board reading "SM5961" in between the two signals on the pole. Two tracks are immediately to the right side of the signal toward the bottom centre of the frame, with a pair of offset signals facing the other direction visible on the far right of the image, for the right track. Two more tracks can be seen merging into the rail corridor further ahead, and overhead wires and gantries fill the top of the image.

A double-decker suburban electric "Tangara" train is seen departing, passing a prominent green on green (double green) signal to the left of the frame. The doors of this train are bright yellow with the body being a stainless steel silver and the windows being a reflective black, whilst the upper floor windows curve slightly. Only the first carriage and half of the second carriage are visible. The shot was taken looking out at the end of the platform into the rail corridor but no parts of the platform itself are actually visible. Overhead wires and some supporting equipment are visible toward the top of the frame along with the pantograph attached to the end of the first carriage.

A small shiny rectangular steel plate reading "TANGARA" in uppercase writing, and reading "Designed and Manufactured by A. Goninan & Co. Limited Newcastle N.S.W." under it in smaller print. The plate is held into place with two bolts at the centre of each side. The background is a clear white colour and the image appears a bit dark. A bit of a green exit sticker is visible to the left of the frame but is cut off.

A metal pole supporting a white round security camera can be seen, with the security camera mounted to the right of the pole so it occupies the centre of the frame. The photo is taken from the ground looking upward so only the top of the pole, the camera and the sky are visible. A thick black wire runs from the side of the camera to the pole. The sky is a mostly clear blue colour with some wispy clouds visible to the far left of the frame.

A platform can be seen to the right of the train with some tactile paving and safety lettering in black reading "Stand Behind the Yellow Line", out of focus. To the left of the train are two more tracks and there are overhead wires supported by a gantry just beyond the platform's end.
