Mixed passenger and freight run from Peterborough to Paratoo. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 
The region between Peterborough and Broken Hill is very sparsely populated - cattle, mining and maintaining the railway were the major activities. Most, or in some cases all, of the houses at the settlements along the line were built for railway employees and their families.

There was an express passenger service that ran from Port Pirie to Broken Hill but between Peterborough and Broken Hill it only stopped to load water and coal, and to change the crew. Local stopping passenger services were usually provided by a passenger car or a combined passenger/guard van attached to a local freight service. This scenario replicates that service between Peterborough and Paratoo.

 When, Where and With What 

Mixed Passenger
 Era:  1920s to 1969
 Duration:  1 hour 40 minutes
 Loco:  SAR T 202 on Peterborough  Car Siding 
 Consist:  Attached to SAR T 202
The wagons have been placed in the order of their destinations with Paratoo at the rear with the passenger coach/guard van. Each wagon has its destination as part of its name e.g. QLX Paratoo indicating its destination is Paratoo.
