	14   Terowie Shunter
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session

Shunting operations in Terowie Yard.

 The Historical Bit 

Terowie's only role was as a change of gauge location. Passengers and freight from Adelaide arrived from the south on the broad gauge (5ft 3in) line and were transferred to wagons on the narrow gauge (3ft 6in) line to continue north to Peterborough and onto destinations on the Broken Hill, Trans Continental and Central Australia lines. The reverse arrangement applied to traffic travelling south to Adelaide.

Passengers simply moved from one platform across to another at the station. Goods and livestock were manually moved from wagons of one gauge on one side of a transfer platform to wagons of the other gauge on the other side, or by gantry crane from one train to the other. Much later a bogie exchange system was introduced to help eliminate the manual handling of freight. By 1970 the broad gauge line was extended to Peterborough and the role and importance of Terowie was greatly reduced. By 1988 the line from Adelaide to Peterborough was closed.

Yard Map: Orders: Move the loco out of the  Loco Depot  and run tender first past the  Station  to the  Goods Transfer  Sidings. Couple the loco to the rake of MTW flat wagons stored on the northern (Peterborough) end of  Goods Siding 2 . Take the MTW flat wagons to the  Goods Gantry  to be loaded. After loading take the wagons back to the  Goods Transfer  Sidings and store them on  Goods Siding 1 . Couple the loco to the rake of QLX wagons on  Goods Siding 2 . Take the QLX wagons to the  Goods Transfer  Shed and load. After loading move the wagons onto  Goods Siding 2 . The two rakes of loaded wagons on  Goods Siding 1  and  Goods Siding 2  must be split and recombined into two consists according to their destinations. The destinations, Peterborough and Gladstone, are shown in the name of each wagon. All the Gladstone wagons are to be placed into one consist and the Peterborough wagons into the other consist. Combine the two consists into one with the Peterborough wagons at the front (Peterborough end) and the Guard Van at the rear of the Gladstone wagons. Move the combined consist onto the  Relief  road in the main Terowie Yard. Return the loco to its starting position in the  Loco  Depot.
