 Vintage East-West Express: Terowie to Quorn Passenger 

Between 1917 and 1932 the Peterborough-Quorn Line was a vital link in the Transcontinental Railway between Sydney on the east coast and Perth on the west coast.

The South Australian Railways provided an express passenger service, the East-West Express, that ran between Terowie and Port Augusta via Quorn. At Terowie it connected with broad gauge services from Adelaide. At Peterborough it connected with narrow gauge services from Broken Hill where there was a standard gauge connection from Sydney. At Quorn it connected with narrow gauge services from the Central Australian Line. At Port Augusta it connected with standard gauge services to Kalgoolie, where there was a narrow gauge connection to Perth.

East West Express

Passengers making the entire trip from Sydney NSW to Perth WA would change trains 5 times - Parkes NSW, Broken Hill NSW, Peterborough SA, Port Augusta SA and Kalgoolie WA. They would change track gauges 3 times (standard to narrow to standard to narrow) and have to navigate through 5 different rail systems (NSWGR, Silverton Tramway, SAR, Commonwealth Railways and WAGR) plus a taxi between two stations in Broken Hill. The entire journey from coast to coast would take 6 days, if all the connections were made.

Today passengers can board a luxury train, the Indian Pacific, in Sydney and travel the entire distance to Perth in 3 days without leaving the train.

 SAR T Class 4-8-0 

SAR T Class 78 were built between 1910 and 1917 specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains where they dominated until the mid 1960s. They were regarded as one of the most successful SAR steam locos. 6 were sold to the TGR (Tasmanian Government Railways), a few were transfered to other SAR narrow gauge lines and 5 were temporarily converted to broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm). The vast majority saw out their lives on the SAR Northern (Peterborough) Narrow Gauge Division. The last examples were withdrawn from service in the early 1970s.

Consumes: Coal and Water


 SAR 400 Class 4-8-2+2-8-4 

SAR 406 Class 10 of these oil fired Garratts were purchased in the 1950s specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains and the Leigh Creek coal trains. Most had been withdrawn by the mid 1960s. The last was withdrawn from service in 1970.

Consumes: Bunker C Oil and Water

Bunker C Oil is available at Gladstone Depot and Peterborough (Main) Depot
