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.<br>
+
A morning school run from '''Gladstone''' to '''Jamestown''' Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.<br>
 
+
Morning passenger and school run from '''Gladstone''' to '''Terowie''' Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays.<br>
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'''.
+
 
+
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.
