| A drop off and pickup freight service between Gladstone and Wilmington. Options from the 1964 and 1982 timetables are available. |
 |
The Historical Bit
The 1964 Working Timetable for the Wilmington Line contained two weekly freight services through to Wilmington with an additional service terminating at Booleroo Centre. Additional services to Wilmington and Booleroo Centre would also run "when required".
The 1982 Working Timetable consisted of a single weekly freight service to Wilmington. By 1984 the freight and livestock facilities at most of the locations along the line had been permanently closed.
The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard and train order working was in operation. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has been removed. Most of the track right of way is now a walking and cycling Rail Trail. |

- Next locate your loco. Either:-
- Open the Finder Tool (press Ctrl F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 257 or SAR 830 (or just T 257 or 830 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR

- the loco name (SAR T 257 or SAR 830) OR
