S146 pulls away from East Hills with run number 35-J to Central.

The "S Set" suburban trains are expected to be retired from the Sydney Trains network before the Summer of 2018/19. These trains are the last on the network to operate without any air-conditioning and will be replaced by the Mk II Waratah trains, dubbed as "B Sets".
