Queensland Rail CityTrain Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) passing over the controlled level crossing at Sandgate, Queensland. With a total of 87 units (88 originally, however Units 5 & 60 were merged after an encounter with a freight train. This unit has the EMU60 number) the EMU is the current workhorse of the Queensland Rail fleet. Delivered between 1979-1986, the EMU is still a mainstay of today's Metro Rail, however with the pending delivery of the NGR, the EMU's days look numbered. The EMU was the first Electric train to run on QR's brand new electric network, initially running between Ferny Grove to Darra. All of QR's (and even TransPerth's A Class) rolling stock has been produced by EDI or a variation of Downer at Maryborough, QLD The NGR (Next Generation Rollingstock) coaches are the first QR units to be produced outside of Queensland, with the contract being awarded to Bombardier Transportation, and built in Savli, India A joint venture between Downer EDI and Bombardier were awarded the construction of the Mark 3 (SMU/IMU260 model) rolling stock, and they were also awarded with the refurbishment of the Mark 1 & 2 SMU/IMU220 model stock. These days the EMU is relegated to the suburban lines, with the 220 & 260 models servicing the Airport, Gold Coast & Nambour lines (Gympie North is serviced by the Walkers ICE stock) Occasionally you will see the odd EMU making its way over the Airport Viaduct, however this is a rarity. #Sandgate #QueenslandRail #train #electric #emu #DownerEDI #Walkers #Maryborough #Queensland #CityTrain #rollingstock #Bombardier #NGR #IMU #SMU #ICE #eisenbahnfotografie #Coach #Mayne (at Queensland Railway)
