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

A steel double-decker 8-car suburban "Tangara" train with a yellow and black front, and yellow doors passes under an overhead wire gantry on the centre right track out of four tracks. The red target plate on the front of the train indicates T97 while the destination board is empty, presumably broken. Some short buildings can be seen to the left and right of the rail corridor with some light graffiti. The sky is a light blue colour with some clouds and the lighting is that of a sunset from the left.

A low-angle close up shot of the distintive slanted yellow front of a suburban "Tangara" train with a wire fence visible between the camera and the train. The sky is a dull white colour and the train and surroundings are wet.

Looking at a double-decker silver "Tangara" suburban train with a distinct slanted yellow front and yellow doors. A fence is visible in the foreground and grey steel bridge pieces are visible at regular intervals to the right of the train. The surfaces around the train are wet and the sky is a dull white colour.

A yellow, black and silver double-decker Tangara train at the platform. The rear of the train is visible, which has a slanted flat design which is yellow and black below the windshield. A red target plate is visible reading "T5". Above the windshield is an empty (probably broken) destination board. Only the rear two carriages are visible in the frame, with yellow doors and a curved window design on the top floor. The scene is brightly lit with ample sunshine and the sky is an overexposed white colour. There are apartment buildings visible in the background.

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.
