Sydney’s New Light Rail Vehicles

Hi all.

Upon walking by the new Light Rail Depot in Randwick i saw one of our new Alstom Citadis X05 Light Rail Vehicles sitting somewhat close to the fence.

Close enough to get an ok photo as you can see above.

The fleet number of the Light Rail Vehicle above is 007.

The following day while passing on the bus i saw 6 of the vehicles parked in the yard.

The new line is set to open next year (2019) so it is something to look forward to.

Just though i’d share that with y’all :)

Thanks for reading!

Any videos of this will go up on Sydney Trains Vlogs on YouTube.

XRN Classes Have A New Livery

Hi all!

I just want to talk about something that had changed a few months ago that i was a bit slow at capturing.

The XRN Class C44aci fleet that were with Xstrata Rail National (XRN) and Glencore have been bought by Genesee & Wyoming (G&W) along with the company.

The XRN fleet are in progress of receiving the G&W Livery.

The photo below shows locomotive XRN013 with the G&W livery.

This is actually my first photo of an XRN Class in this livery as i haven’t really had the time to make my way up to the Hunter etc until the day the photo was taken (4/1/2018).

Thanks for reading :)
