Distance from Port Pirie: 52 kms, 32¼ miles from Peterborough: 65½ kms, 40¾ miles
A major manned station, junction and a break-of-gauge location on the narrow gauge (3ft6in - 1067mm) Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line and Gladstone-Wilmington Line , and the broad gauge (5ft3in - 1600mm) Gladstone-Hamley Bridge-Adelaide Line .
Multiple loops, yards and sidings for goods, grain, livestock, station, transfer platforms and loco servicing facilities.
The Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line was converted to standard gauge (4ft8½in - 1435mm) during 1969-1970 and Gladstone then became a triple gauge location (narrow, standard and broad gauges) until the closure of the narrow and broad gauge lines by 1990. To keep things simple, only a few dual narrow and broad gauge tracks, and no dual gauge switches, are used in the layout.
At its peak, before standardisation, Gladstone employed over 1,000 workers in servicing locomotives and the break-of-gauge facilities.
Gladstone is now just a crossing loop and a grain terminal. The loco servicing facilities have been removed. The station building still stands but is no longer in use. There are no passenger services.
