 23 		   24   Peterborough Dieselisation 
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0		 ArrowRightBtn.png
 25 
Diesel services on the  Peterborough-Quorn Line  in the 1970s and 80s. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 

By 1970 the main  Port Pirie-Broken  Hill Line  had been converted to standard gauge (4ft 8½in - 1435mm) which isolated the  Peterborough-Quorn Line  from the rest of the narrow gauge network - the narrow gauge  Port Augusta-Quorn Line  had been closed in 1956.

1970 also saw the removal of steam from Peterborough and all services were then operated by SAR 830 class narrow gauge diesels, initially 858, 865, 866 and 867. By the end of 1970 865 and 866 were transferred to Gladstone and in 1973 867 was converted, by bogie exchange, to broad gauge (5ft 3in - 1600mm). This left SAR 858 as the only narrow gauge loco at Peterborough from 1973 to 1988 when it was withdrawn from service.

The Working Timetable for the 1970s and 80s saw only two narrow gauge freight services each week. One to Quorn and one to Orroroo (if required). In addition there were seasonal grain collection services to Quorn (when required) and to Orroroo.

The Quorn freight service often terminated at Carrieton due to the lack of goods to transport. If it extended to Quorn then it also required a crew change on the return trip at Bruce or Hammond. The relief crew were transported from Peterborough by a rail inspection car (see the scenario Rail Car Inspection Run) with the relieved crew transported back by the same vehicle.

In March 1987 the line from Eurelia to Quorn was closed. This was followed in November 1988 by the closure of the remaining line from Peterborough to Eurelia to regular services. The last scheduled revenue runs on the line were to remove grain from the silos at Orroroo in October 1988 (see the scenario Peterborough-Quorn Grain). Special excursion trains from the Steamtown Peterborough Railway Preservation Society continued to use the line from Peterborough to Eurelia until 2002 when the line was closed to all traffic. Most of the track has since been removed.

 When, Where and With What 

Diesels
 Era:  1970-1988
 Duration:  Various depending on options
 Loco:  Available at  Peterborough Loco Depot :-
 Consist:  The consist for the freight runs (trains D3 and D9) is stored on Peterborough  Yard 3 . The consist for the grain runs (trains D1 and D7) is at the Peterborough  Grain Siding . To be attached to the selected loco:-

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. Open the session SAR Northern Division Free Roam Session V2 into Trainz Driver. To do this:
    • From the Driver/Surveyor loading screen select the route SAR Northern Division (Narrow Gauge) Route v2
    • Then select VIEW SESSIONS
    • Then select the session SAR Northern Division Free Roam Session V2
    • Click DRIVE SESSION
  2. If you have already closed the opening message window then pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
  3. If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section
  4. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the selected loco - e.g. SAR 858. Click the tick icon, OR
    • Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:-
    • the loco name (SAR 858) OR
    • the driver icon (named Driver 858) - this is a non-animated icon
    then click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco
  5. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Peterborough Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Peterborough. 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.
  6. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  7. 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.
  8. Switch back to Trainz Driver Mode
  9. Close the opening message window if it is on the screen OR if Pause is shown on the screen instead, press the  P  key. Both actions will start the session.


Tutorial:
Tutorial A tutorial on using these scenarios is provided in the link on the left. The link will open in this window


Orders:
  1. Move the selected loco out of the depot and into the yard
  2. The consist waiting on the Peterborough  Yard 3  Road is in three parts:-
    • For train D9 select the first 4 wagons only. Shunt these wagons to an empty  Yard  Road. Attach a Guard Van to the rear of the consist. The Guard Van can be taken from the rear of the remaining wagons or from the nearby  Car Shed 
    • For train D3, if terminating at Carrieton, shunt to combine the first two consists into a single consist. Shunt these wagons to an empty  Yard  Road. Attach a Guard Van to the rear of the consist.
    • For train D3 continuing through to Quorn, shunt all three consists into a single consist with the Guard Van at the rear
    • For trains D1 and D5 collect the empty grain wagons waiting on the Flour Mill Siding and shunt them to the main yard. Attach a guard van to the rear of the consist
  3. Proceed onto the  Peterborough-Quorn Line 
  4. Detach and shunt wagons at each location according to the working timetable shown below. Where multiple drop offs are required all wagons have been named with their destination and placed in the consist in destination order from the front
  5. Detach:-
    • MTW flat wagons to  Goods Cranes 
    • QLX wagons to  Goods Sheds 
    • WTE wagons to  Grain Silos 
  6. Leave each wagon at its loading/unloading point
  7. For trains D7 and D9 turn the loco on the  WYE  at Orroroo
    Note: The  WYE  was actually removed in the 1930s so in reality the loco would have to run "long nose first" back to Peterborough (or "long nose first" up to Orroroo). As SAR 858 was the only narrow gauge loco based at Peterborough from 1973, this problem could not be solved by double-heading with another locomotive, but double heading is still an option in this scenario
  8. For train D3 you may take the option to terminate at Carrieton

Driving Notes:

A summary of the facilities and product loads at all locations along the line is provided in the link Port Peterborough-Quorn Line

  • From 1970 to 1973 two 830 class locos were available so you have the opportunity to "double head" the consists to avoid running "long nose" first for journeys terminating at Orroroo or Carrieton. The WYE at Orroroo was removed in the 1930s but is still present in this layout.
  • The approaches to all locations are protected by invisible signals to prevent the AI Half Speed Slowdown Problem when approaching a signal at stop.
  • The curves between Wallaway and Eurelia and some bridges have posted 20 mph speed restrictions.
  • Trackmarks and industries have been provided for AI Drive To Trackmark, Drive via Trackmark and Drive to  Industry  commands. Click Location Index for details.
  • Manual (no AI) driving is possible. As a visual driving aid, a Caution warning sign has been placed at the location of the Main Approach Dn and Main Approach Up trackmarks. Click Location Index for details.
  • If driving manually in yards, you are responsible for correctly setting any catch points.
