U Sets
Built in 1958 and withdrawn in 1996, they provided regular intercity services on the Blue Mountains and Newcastle Lines.

History
Built in in 1958 for the electrification of the Blue Mountains line. The original plan was to electrify the line to Wallerawang but electrification progress ended at Lithgow. They ran on the line in 9- 10 car sets (the fish) but normally in 4- 6 car sets with 8 car trains made by coupling to 4 car sets together. This became the standard format for trains in Sydney. The trains originally came with sliding windows but they became replaced with beclawat windows during a number of overhauls. These trains have been overhauled many times.

Interior
These trains were a mix of SECOND and FIRST class cars until 'one class' operations. The FIRST class cars had blue coloured seats and SECOND class cars had green coloured seats.
