Line History:

Opened:  1881-1982
Closed:  1987-1988

Built as a narrow gauge (3' 6" - 1047mm) line from Peterborough to Orroroo in 1881, it was extended to Quorn in 1882 where it joined the Commonwealth Railways main northern narrow gauge line from Port Augusta to Maree.

When the Transcontinental Railway from Port Augusta to Kalgoolie was completed in 1917, the Peterborough-Quorn line became the route for all transcontinental rail traffic until 1932 when a more direct line to Port Augusta was completed. The line continued to see traffic for the Commonwealth Railways northern line until 1950 when a new route from Port Augusta to Maree was constructed which bypassed Quorn. Traffic on the Peterborough-Quorn line declined significantly afterwards.

The line from Eurelia to Quorn was closed in 1987 followed by the closure of the line from Peterborough to Eurelia in 1988.
