ArrowLeft.png   17   Quorn - Hawker Weekly Freight  ArrowRight.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session
The weekly Commonwealth Railways freight service from Quorn to Hawker. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 
Up until 1956 the Central Australia Line from Port Augusta north to Maree and on to Alice Springs ran via Quorn and Hawker. In 1956 a new standard gauge (4ft 8.5inch, 1435mm) line to Maree was opened which followed a more direct route bypassing Quorn and Hawker. The narrow gauge line sections from Port Augusta to Quorn and from Hawker to Maree were closed leaving only the section between Quorn and Hawker open for traffic.

The Commonwealth Railways, the operator of the Central Australia Line, ran a weekly freight service on this section until 1972 when the service was cancelled and the line closed. It was the only scheduled service running on the line. They used SAR locos and a mixture of CR and SAR rolling stock.

Location Index

Location Index		 Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide a variety of information. The  Getting Started  guide below gives a summary of the information that is available.

To display the data click any Line Index graphic, or go to the bottom of the page for all the session links (all links will open in this window).
Getting Started:
  1. If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
  2. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    1. Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco. For example SAR T 255 (or just T 255 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
    2. Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and select the loco from there - click the drivers Eye icon to jump to the loco.
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Use the Location Index (this link will open in this window) and click on Gladstone to load its location details and track plans. 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.
  6. Switch back to TRS19 Driver and either close the opening message window or press the  P  key to start the session.
