SAR Scenario Gladstone Pickup Grain V2

18   Gladstone Pickup Grain  A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0

19

Seasonal "when required" grain services collecting grain from local silos for delivery to Gladstone.

The Historical Bit  The  Terowie-Peterborough-Quorn Line  was roughly the dividing line in the state of South Australia between the grain producing region and the cattle and sheep grazing region. West of the line there was enough rain to produce one crop of grain each year. East of the line the country was too dry for crops and could only be used for grazing. The grain storage silos followed this pattern with many of the locations west of Peterborough (towards Port Pirie) equipped with grain loaders while locations east (towards Broken Hill) had only livestock loading facilities.
