 Changes Between Version 1.0 and Version 2.0 
Most of the changes made to the maps, industries, switches and track marks between the two versions are due to more up to date historical information becoming available.

I recently gained access to a vast online archive of historical photographs and documents covering all Australian railways. As a result I discovered some significant discrepencies between the contents of that archive and the original published track diagrams on which the Peterborough Division route was based.

A common example: The original track diagram showed no passenger facilities or grain silos at a location. This was contradited by archived photographs and documents for that location.
An uncommon example: At one location the photographic archives indicated that the original published track diagram had been flipped vertically. This was confirmed by checking that location with Google Earth.

The changes made are:-
