ArrowLeftBtn.png   3   Gladstone to Wilmington Local Freight  ArrowRightBtn.png
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. Bottom

 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".

Wilmington Local Freight
 Era:  1920s to 1980s
 Duration:  3 hours
 Loco:  SAR T 257 on Gladstone  Yard 2 

Other Unrostered Locos: Loco Roster Label.png

 Consist:  Attached to SAR T 257. 4 QR MTW Flat wagons, 5 QR QLX Van wagons, 4 QR WHE covered wagons, 1 Guard Van. Each wagon has its destination as part of its name e.g. QLX Wirrabara 2 indicating it is the 2nd QLX wagon for Wirrabara.

Location Index

Location Index		 Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide a variety of information. The  Getting Started  guide below gives a summary of the information that is available.

To display the data click any Line Index graphic, or go to the bottom of the page for all the session links (all links will open in this window).
Getting Started:
  1. If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
  2. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    1. Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco. For example SAR T 257 (or just T 257 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
    2. Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and select the loco from there - click the drivers Eye icon to jump to the loco.
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Gladstone Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Gladstone. In each location details page:-
    • the Tab HM White.png tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
    • the Tab TM Grey.png tab reveals the invisible TM Track Marks for Drive To commands.
    • the Tab IN Grey.png tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
    • the Tab SW Grey.png tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
  4. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  5. When you are ready to start, reload the Peterborough Base Session page (click the Scenarios button on your current location page) and select this Scenario again or just use the Back button on your browser - whichever is quicker.
  6. Switch back to TRS19 Driver and either close the opening message window or press the  P  key to start the session.
