−
A twice weekly (if required) freight service from '''Gladstone''' to '''Wilmington''' dropping wagons at locations as required.
+
The 1964 Working Timetable for the <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&nbsp;Wilmington&nbsp;Line&nbsp;</span> contained only two regular freight services through to '''Wilmington''', running on Mondays and Fridays only. An additional service to '''Wilmington''' ran only "when required". On Wednesdays there was a freight service to '''Booleroo Centre''', with two additional services available "when required".<br>
  
−
<table>
+
The '''1982 Working Timetable''' consisted of a single weekly freight service to '''Wilmington'''. By 1984 the freight and livestock facilities at most of the locations along the line had been permanently closed.<br>
 +
 
 +
The line had no signals beyond '''Gladstone Yard''' and train order working was in operation. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has been removed. Most of the track right of way is now a walking and cycling Rail Trail .<br>

ArrowLeftBtn.png   3   Gladstone to Wilmington Local Freight  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session
A twice weekly freight service from Gladstone to Wilmington dropping wagons at locations as required. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 

The 1964 Working Timetable for the  Wilmington Line  contained only two regular freight services through to Wilmington, running on Mondays and Fridays only. An additional service to Wilmington ran only "when required". On Wednesdays there was a freight service to Booleroo Centre, with two additional services available "when required".

The 1982 Working Timetable consisted of a single weekly freight service to Wilmington. By 1984 the freight and livestock facilities at most of the locations along the line had been permanently closed.

The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard and train order working was in operation. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has been removed. Most of the track right of way is now a walking and cycling Rail Trail .

Wilmington Local Freight
 Era:  1920s to 1980s
 Duration:  3 hours
 Loco:  SAR T 257 on Gladstone  Yard 2 
See Loco Roster Label.png for a full list of locos.
 Consist:  Attached to SAR T 257
The wagons have been placed in the order of their destinations with Laura at the front (loco) end and Wilmington at the rear. Each wagon has its destination as part of its name e.g. QLX Wirrabara indicating its destination is Wirrabara.

Location Index

Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide a variety of useful information

The  Getting Started  guide below gives a summary of what is available.

To display this information click any Location 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:-
    • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 257 (or just T 257 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
    • Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find the loco name (SAR T 257) then click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Gladstone 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.
