ArrowLeftBtn.png   3   Gladstone to Wilmington Local Freight  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session
A twice weekly freight service from Gladstone to Wilmington dropping wagons at locations as required. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 

The 1964 Working Timetable for the  Wilmington Line  contained only two regular freight services through to Wilmington, running on Mondays and Fridays only. An additional service to Wilmington ran only "if required". On Wednesdays there was a freight service to Booleroo Centre, with two additional services available "if required".

The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard. Train order working was in operation on the line.

The 1982 working timetable consisted of a single freight service to Wilmington each week (on Fridays). The line was closed in 1990 and the track has since been removed.

Wilmington Local Freight
 Era:  1920s to 1980s
 Duration:  3 hours
 Loco:  SAR T 257 on Gladstone  Yard 2 
See Loco Roster Label.png for a full list of locos.
 Consist:  Attached to SAR T 257

The wagons have been placed in the order of their destinations with Laura at the front (loco) end and Wilmington at the rear. Each wagon has its destination as part of its name e.g. QLX Wirrabara indicating its destination is 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 find the loco name (SAR T 257). Click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco.
    3. 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 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.
