Enhancing train visibility in Dark Territories in the NSW metropolitan rail network has occurred through a series of control system projects commissioned by the Rail Infrastructure Corporation NSW, State Rail Authority IT & T and ALSTOM Australia.

This paper describes the development, installation and commissioning of the various SigView control systems used to enhance train visibility in the Blue Mountains. The paper provides details on each stage of the process, beginning with the initial objective of providing signalling indications in the Dark Territories through to the provision of Train Describer systems some of which are currently in use.
