Exactly 40 years ago today, I spent a day mooching around Sydney terminal and inner west goods lines. Here's a thread of the photos I took that day 40 years ago, July 14 1986. First up, an XPT in original Inter-City livery sits in Platform 2, Sydney Terminal station, 8:44am, July 14 1986. 1 of 13

An XPT in red inter-city livery sits at a passenger platform at a city terminal station with the platform at right, and three tracks between this platform and the neighbouring platform, with a sandstone clocktower in the background showing the time as 8:44am.

The first of a fleet of four new diesel railcars enters service today, marking the return of 'The Australind' Perth to Bunbury passenger trains after an absence of 2 and a half years. A second will arrive in August and the service will ramp up to 4 return trips per day www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

The disruption-plagued Perth-to-Bunbury train service is back on track following years of breakdowns and delays, but locals remain frustrated over the rollout.
