28 The Hawker Line Tour A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0 |
1 |
| A passenger tour train exploring the Hawker Line (1956-1972). | |
| The Historical Bit In 1956 the narrow gauge line from Port Augusta to Maree via Quorn was closed, replaced by a new standard gauge line build further to the west. But the short section between Quorn and Summit, the highest point on the line, still remained open. In the other direction, the line from Quorn to Hawker was still used by a weekly freight service. From 1956 upto 1972 tourist excursion trains from Peterborough would often use these two sections of the original line. From Quorn to Summit the trains would "top and tail" with a locomotive placed at each end as there were no turning facilities at Summit. The Hawker trains would turn the loco on the WYE at Hawker. In 1972 the fine from Quorn to Hawker closed but the line to Summit remained in use. In 1974 the Pichi Richi Railway Historical Society was formed to preserve the existing track and ultimately restore the old right of way as a working preservation railway. They initially ran services on the line between Quorn and Summit. By 1979 they had restored the line from Summit to Woolshed Flat, using track from the closed line to Hawker. At Woolshed Flat they build some tourist facilities and installed a turning WYE. In 1987 the line to Peterborough was closed so the tour trains from Peterborough no longer ran. By 2001 the Pichi Richi Railway had restored the entire original line to Port Augusta. They now operate tourist trains from Port Augusta to Quorn as well as between Quorn and Woolshed Flat. |
