Built as a narrow gauge (3'6" - 1067mm) line from Port Pirie to Gladstone in 1875, it was extended to Cockburn on the South Australia - New South Wales border in 1888 where it joined the Silverton Tramway to Broken Hill. The main purpose of the line was to transport the mineral ores from the mines at Broken Hill to the smelters and port at Port Pirie, a function it still performs today.

Several narrow gauge branches lines were added at Gladstone (to Wilmington), Peterborough (to Quorn and Terowie) and to mines between Paratoo and Cockburn. A broad gauge (5'3" - 1600mm) line from Adelaide (the state capital) was extended to to Gladstone in 1894.

In 1969 the line was converted to standard gauge (4'8.5" - 1435mm) which eventually led to the closure of all the connecting narrow and broad gauge lines. The line now forms part of the standard gauge Transcontinental railway from Sydney to Perth.
