A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session |
A twice weekly (if required) freight service from Gladstone to Wilmington dropping wagons at locations as required. |
The Historical Bit
By the 1960s the Wilmington Line was in decline. Freight services largely ran on demand and passenger services sometimes consisted of a passenger car attached to a freight service. All passenger services on the line ended in 1969.
When the Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line was converted to standard gauge in 1969-70 the Wilmington Line became isolated from the rest of the narrow gauge network.
The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard and only Booleroo Centre was manned by railway staff. Train order working was in operation on the line.
The line was eventually closed in 1990. A section of the line has been converted to a "rail trail".
