The Tangara (an Australian Aboriginal word meaning to go) is a class of electric multiple unit operated by CityRail in Sydney. It comes in two subclasses - suburban sets known as T sets, and outer-suburban sets known as G sets. Tangaras commenced service between 1988 and 1995, and are third generation trains.
A Tangara is a four car set, with the middle two cars being non-control motor cars, and the two outer cars being driving control trailers fitted with one pantograph each. Like other suburban trains in the CityRail fleet, Tangaras are of a double decker design. The trains are equipped with air conditioning and chopper control. Two four car sets can be coupled to provide one eight car set - All suburban Tangaras operate this way.
A total of 450 carriages were ordered, and in 1996, five spare driving trailers were ordered as replacements for damaged carriages. All carriages were manufactured by Goninan.
Quite appropriately, if you look up this cache spot on Google Maps app, there is a 6-car set passing by immediately opposite.
