| − | + | The line from '''Port Augusta''' to '''Quorn''' was closed in 1956 but the section from '''Quorn''' to '''Summit''' was still in use by passenger excursion trains from '''Peterborough''' in the 1960s. '''Summit''' was used as a terminus with the tour trains running "top and tail" with a loco at both ends for the return trip to '''Quorn'''.<br> | |

They now operate heritage tourist diesel and steam trains on the fully restored narrow gauge line between '''Quorn''' and '''Port Augusta''' but still use '''Summit''' as a waypoint '''halt''' with the siding used to pass crossing trains.</td> | ||
