The Brontë sisters feature in artwork now adorning a Class 331 unit.
There are also depictions of landmarks including Bradford City Hall, Cartwright Hall, the Alhambra Theatre and a statue of author and playwright JB Priestley.
And as part of the initiative, celebrating Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, the train has been named The Bradfordian.
The artwork was unveiled in a ceremony at Bradford Forster Square, attended by guests including West Yorkshire mayor Tracy Brabin and Bradford Council leader Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe.
Kerry Peters, regional director for Northern, says: "The City of Culture celebrations are already putting Bradford on the map and making a real difference to local people by boosting a sense of pride.
"That’s why Northern is committed to promoting these fantastic events, supporting the organisers and providing a warm welcome to everyone who visits the district.
"We hope passengers who see this artwork will take a moment to reflect on Bradford’s unique history and then look ahead to find an event they can attend."
Ms Brabin says: "The vibrant artwork on this train is a fitting tribute to Bradford and our region’s thriving creative industries." (Alistair Shand)
