The passenter train codes in NSW are fairly simple.

First letter:
N - Northern region
W - Western Region
S - Southern Region
C - Illawarra Region
H - Metropolitan region

Second letter:
T - XPT
P - Xplorer
L - Diesel loco
S - Steam loco
R - Railcar/DMU
C also means something, but I forget what.
Any letter for electric loco?

Numbers:
Odd numbers for down, even numbers for up.

Interurban electric multiple unit were (still are?) numbered with just the
region and a number, e.g. N111.

Freight train numbers are complicated, and I don't understand them. :)
