History

These were the first EMUs in Queensland, entering revenue service when the Brisbane rail network was electrified in 1979. An electric multiple unit or EMU is a Multiple unit train consisting of many carriages using Electricity as the motive power The EMUs were progressively introduced into service between 1979 and 1987. A freight train derailed and collided into empty sets EMU05 and EMU60 at Petrie in 2001, leading to one set being salvaged from three carriages as EMU60. Petrie Station is a Railway station on the Caboolture Line of Brisbane, Australia. An earlier accident occurred at Trinder Park leading to one fatality, all units involved in the accident are still in service. Trinder Park Station is a Railway station on the Beenleigh Line of Brisbane, Australia.

Operation

The EMUs operate on all Citytrain suburban lines in 3 or 6 car sets. Citytrain is the brand name of urban suburban and inter-urban electric passenger railway services in South East Queensland, Australia. EMU01-EMU59 and EMU80-EMU88 have driving cabs at both ends and can either operate as a 3 car or 6 car unit.

Units EMU60-EMU79 have only a single driving cab, and because those units have only a single driving cab, they can operate only as a 6-car unit. They are interoperable with InterCity Express units to form hybrid sets. Walkers-ABB InterCity Express (ICE are a model of electric multiple unit used by Citytrain in South East Queensland, Australia.

Timetable

The units serves all lines in the suburban network. However they are regularly found operating interurban services on the Nambour and Gympie North Line and occasionally on the Gold Coast Line, due to a shortage of interurban rollingstock. This article is about the Nambour and Gympie North railway line which is the existing Sunshine Coast Citytrain service The Gold Coast railway line is an interurban Railway line operated by QR Citytrain in Queensland, Australia, connecting
