QUEENSLAND Rail is over half way through the roll out of a new EMU fleet, after first introducing the train in December 2017. 

Unlike all previous EMU fleets in Queensland this one is not being built in Australia, but instead is being built by Bombardier in India.

The completed trains are being moved by sea from Mumbai to Brisbane.
