Page 1 of 1 (Showing items 1-10 of 10 photos)

A new orange, silver and black double decker "Mariyung" intercity train traveling along tracks on a causeway next to Mullet Creek. The tracks are curved, with only the first and a bit of the second carriage visible as the train is approaching the camera on the further of two tracks. Overhead wires are visible and a rusted gantry can be seen behind the train. The background is forested and there are hills. The sky is a dull clear colour.

The orange, black and silver rear of a double-decker Mariyung intercity train stopped at a short concrete platform. The train's electronic destination board above its clean windshield reads "Central". This photo is taken at a low angle on the tracks, looking up at the train. The train is on the left track, while the right track and other platform is unoccupied. The platform has a small shelter, a wooden bench and a fence along a ramp. The sky is mostly clear and the background appears densly forrested.

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.

A modern double-decker train passing the platform threshold at a semi-rural station surrounded by trees. the train's front is primarily black with silver bumpers and a red accent below the three-section windshield, and an electronic destination display reading "Newcastle Intg" above the windshield. 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.
