Sydney, the largest city in Australia, has an extensive network of passenger and freight railways. The passenger system mainly consists of an extensive suburban railway network, operated by Sydney Trains, which has a central underground core running at metro-equivalent frequencies, and a light rail network, currently consisting of the Dulwich Hill Line. The Dulwich Hill Line, also called the Inner West Light Rail, mostly runs on a formerly disused alignment that was a part of the separate network of freight lines. Future expansion of the light rail network includes the under–construction CBD and South East Light Rail, and the planned Parramatta Light Rail. Sydney Metro, a rapid transit system, will open in mid 2019.

The Carlingford railway line is a branch railway line in Sydney, Australia. It was opened from Clyde to Subiaco in January 1885, then by means of the construction of a bridge across the Parramatta River, to Carlingford in April 1896. The line runs north-south between the suburb of Carlingford and the Main Suburban railway line at Clyde. Passenger services on the line form part of the Sydney Trains commuter rail network and are marketed as the T6 Carlingford Line. The railway line's small catchment, low patronage, short platforms and single track for much of its length mean the T6 generally operates as a shuttle service, with passengers changing at Clyde for T1 North Shore, Northern & Western Line services to the Sydney central business district and Parramatta. Most of the line is planned for conversion to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail network. The remainder of the line will permanently close, apart from a short section which will remain open for use by Sydney Trains.
The Parramatta Light Rail is a proposal for a twelve kilometre light rail line in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, running from Westmead to Carlingford via the Western Sydney centre of Parramatta.

The project will add to light rail in Sydney but the new line will be completely separated from the existing and under construction lines. The project is managed by the New South Wales Government's transport authority, Transport for NSW.
