25 Quorn - Hawker Weekly Freight A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0 |
27 |
The weekly Commonwealth Railways freight service from Quorn to Hawker. | |
The Historical Bit
Up until 1956 the narrow gauge (3ft6in, 1067mm) Central Australia Railway from Port Augusta to Marree and on to Alice Springs ran through the Flinders Ranges via Quorn and Hawker. In 1956 a new standard gauge (4ft8½inch, 1435mm) line from Port Augusta to Marree was opened following a more direct and easier route that avoided the difficult Flinders Ranges. The new line bypassed Quorn, Hawker and most of the original narrow gauge line to Marree. The old line was immediately closed except for the section between Quorn and Hawker. This section survived because a mine near Hawker needed to send its ore to Quorn but the local dirt roads were totally unsuitable for the task. The Commonwealth Railways (CR), the operator of the Central Australia Railway, ran a weekly freight service between Quorn and Hawker using SAR locos and a mixture of CR and SAR rolling stock. It was the only scheduled service running on the line although a second "when required" freight service was provided in the timetable. SAR T 44, which was based at Quorn, was a regular sight on this run. The few existing photographs of the service usually show a very short consist, only a few wagons, mostly carrying minerals and general goods. |
