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.<br>

ArrowLeftBtn.png   20   Gladstone Pickup Grain  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0
A pickup service from Peterborough to Gladstone servicing the grain storage silos at Yongala, Jamestown and Caltowie. Bottom

 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.


Gladstone Grain
 Era:  1960s
 Duration:  2 hours 30 minutes
 Loco:  Any available loco Loco Roster Label.png

  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Peterborough Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Gladstone. In each location details page:-
    • the Tab HM White.png tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
    • the Tab TM Grey.png tab reveals the invisible TM Track Marks for Drive To commands.
    • the Tab IN Grey.png tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
    • the Tab SW Grey.png tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
  4. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  5. When you are ready to start, reload the Peterborough Base Session page (click the Scenarios button on your current location page) and select this Scenario again or just use the Back button on your browser - whichever is quicker.
