<td>Up until 1956 the narrow gauge (3ft6in, 1067mm) '''Central Australia Railway''' from '''Port Augusta''' to '''Maree''' and on to '''Alice Springs''' ran through the '''Flinders Ranges''' via '''Quorn''' and '''Hawker'''. In 1956 a new standard gauge (4ft8&#189;inch, 1435mm) line from '''Port Augusta''' to '''Maree''' was opened following a more direct and easier route that avoided the difficult '''Flinders Ranges'''. The now bypassed narrow gauge line to '''Maree''', including '''Quorn''' and '''Hawker''', was immediately closed except for the section between '''Quorn''' and '''Hawker'''. This section survived because a mine near '''Hawker''' needed to send its ore to '''Quorn''' for processing but the local dirt roads were totally unsuitable for the task.<br>
  
By 1970 the main <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&#160;Port&#160;Pirie-Broken &#160;Hill&#160;Line&#160;</span> had been converted to standard gauge (4ft 8&#189;in - 1435mm) which isolated the <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&#160;Peterborough-Quorn Line&#160;</span> from the rest of the narrow gauge network.
+
The '''Commonwealth Railways (CR)''', the operator of the '''Central Australia Railway''', ran a weekly freight service between '''Quorn''' and '''Hawker''' using '''SAR''' locos and a mixture of '''CR''' and '''SAR''' rolling stock. It was the only scheduled service running on the line although a second "when required" freight service was provided in the timetable. '''SAR T 44''', which was based at '''Quorn''', was a regular sight on this run.<br>
 
+
1970 also saw the removal of steam from '''Peterborough''' and all remaining narrow gauge services were operated by '''SAR 830 class''' narrow gauge diesels, initially '''SAR 858, 865, 866''' and '''867''' which were based at '''Peterborough'''. By the end of 1970 '''SAR 865''' and '''866''' were transferred to '''Gladstone''' and in 1973 '''SAR 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.<br>
+
  
The '''Working Timetable''' for the 1970s and 80s saw only two narrow gauge return freight services each week. One to '''Quorn''' and one to '''Orroroo'''.<br>
+
Because there was usually only one service each week and due to the generally poor condition of the track, on-time running was never a consideration. In 1972 the service was cancelled and the line was closed.</td>
 
+
</tr>
The '''Quorn''' service often terminated at '''Carrieton''' due to the lack of goods to transport. The service to '''Quorn''' 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 '''[[SAR Scenario Rail Car Inspection Run|Rail Car Inspection Run]]''') with the relieved crew transported back by the same vehicle.<br>
+
</table>
 
+
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 '''[[SAR Scenario Orroroo Grain|Orroroo Grain Run]]'''). Special excrusion trains from the '''Steamtown Peterborough Railway Preservation Society''' continued to use the line from '''Peterborough''' to '''Eurelia''' until 2002. Most of the line has since been removed.

#:'''Note:''' The <span style="font-weight: 700; color: white; background-color: black;">&#160;WYE&#160;</span> 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 it is still an option in this scenario

ArrowLeftBtn.png   26   Quorn - Hawker Weekly Freight  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0
The weekly Commonwealth Railways freight service from Quorn to Hawker. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 

Up until 1956 the narrow gauge (3ft6in, 1067mm) Central Australia Railway from Port Augusta to Maree and on to Alice Springs ran through the Flinders Ranges via Quorn and Hawker. In 1956 a new standard gauge (4ft8½inch, 1435mm) line from Port Augusta to Maree was opened following a more direct and easier route that avoided the difficult Flinders Ranges. The now bypassed narrow gauge line to Maree, including Quorn and Hawker, was immediately closed except for the section between Quorn and Hawker. This section survived because a mine near Hawker needed to send its ore to Quorn for processing but the local dirt roads were totally unsuitable for the task.

The Commonwealth Railways (CR), the operator of the Central Australia Railway, ran a weekly freight service between Quorn and Hawker using SAR locos and a mixture of CR and SAR rolling stock. It was the only scheduled service running on the line although a second "when required" freight service was provided in the timetable. SAR T 44, which was based at Quorn, was a regular sight on this run.

Because there was usually only one service each week and due to the generally poor condition of the track, on-time running was never a consideration. In 1972 the service was cancelled and the line was closed.

File:SAR Hawker Freight.png
 Era:  1956 to 1972
 Duration:  to Hawker: 2 hours 30 minutes
 Loco:  SAR T 44 at Quorn  Loco Depot 
The Loco Roster Label.png has other suitable locos available at the  Quorn Loco Depot 
 
 Consist:  Stored on Quorn  Goods Siding 1  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. If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
  2. If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section
  3. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of your selected loco, for example SAR T 44 (or just T 44 which should be enough), then 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 (e.g. SAR T 44) OR
    • the driver icon (named Driver 44) - this is a non-animated icon
    then click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco.
  4. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Quorn Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Quorn. 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.
  5. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  6. 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.
  7. Switch back to Trainz Driver Mode
  8. Close the opening message window and, if Pause is shown on the screen, press the  P  key to start the session.

Driving Notes:

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

  • The Hawker Line is not signalled beyond Quorn Yard. Train Order Working is in operation on the line.
  • You have been issued with orders and the authorisation for the Hawker Line.
  • As this is usually the only service operating on the line each week, and there is no certainty about which stops will be made, there is no need to maintain a strict timetable
  • The water tank wagon is to be coupled directly behind the tender to replemish the loco as there are often no guaranteed water supplies on the line.
  • The approaches to all locations are protected by invisible signals to prevent the AI Half Speed Slowdown Problem when approaching a signal at stop.
  • Trackmarks and industries have been provided for AI Drive To Trackmark, Drive via Trackmark and Drive to  Industry  commands. Click Location Index for details.
