Summary edit

Description
English: Broad gauge and narrow gauge tracks at passenger transfer platforms, Terowie, South Australia, in 1953 – looking south towards Adelaide, 225.0 km away. Passengers travelling from Broken Hill or Sydney to Adelaide, and vice versa, had to transfer across the platform at this break-of-gauge station. A narrow-gauge passenger train is on the right-hand side of the photo, having arrived from Peterborough (23.0 km away, behind the photographer). These tracks end with several sidings a few hundred metres in the distance. Likewise, the broad-gauge tracks on the left, for trains from Adelaide, end a few hundred metres behind the photographer. The place where US General Douglas MacArthur made his renowned "I came through and I shall return" pronouncement on 20 March 1942 is approximately where the 44-gallon drum appears, in the middle foreground.
