It was the headquarters for the Northern Division and responsible for train control and maintenance. The maintenance centre employed over 1,000 workers to service and maintain over 100 train movements each day.<br> | |

The '''Peterborough-Quorn Line''' was left as a narrow gauge line making Peterborough a triple gauge location until the closure of the non-standard gauge lines in 1988.<br> |

+ | '''Peterborough''' is now just a crossing loop. The main loco depot is now a static museum for the '''[https://www.steamtown.com.au/ Steamtown Peterborough Railway Preservation Society]''' and most other facilities have been removed. The railway station has been retained and until a few years ago was serviced by the luxury '''Indian-Pacific''' passenger train running between '''Sydney''', '''Adelaide''' and '''Perth'''. That service no longer stops at '''Peterborough''' and there are no other passenger services. | ||
