Port Pirie Junction railway station -- track layout 1937-1967
Summary edit
| Description |
English: Layout of track in Port Pirie Junction railway yards when the station was open between 1937 and 1967. The facility was built in readiness for the arrival of broad-gauge (from Adelaide via Redhill) and standard-gauge (from Western Australia via Port Augusta) lines, which opened in 1937. It was closed in 1967 and substantially reconfigured for a new standard-gauge line from New South Wales (replacing the narrow-gauge line) that opened in 1970.
The pre-existing Solomontown station, comprising a small ticket office, a waiting shelter and a ground-level hardstanding area for boarding narrow-gauge trains, was retained when the Port Pirie Junction station was built. Not to scale. Some changes were made to the configuration of sidings after initial construction. Data sources: South Australian Railways signalling diagrams 1936 and G.F. Vincent (2019), South Australia’s mixed gauge muddle. National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide, South Australia. |
