There were proposals to extend the line to Port Augusta or to Quorn. The line became isolated from the rest of the narrow gauge network when the Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line was converted to standard gauge (4'8.5" - 1435mm) in 1969. All passenger services on the line ceased at that time. The line was closed in 1990.
