A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session |
Express bulk ore freight from Broken Hill to Port Pirie. |
The Historical Bit
The line from Port Pirie to Cockburn on the South Australia - New South Wales border was built in stages from 1875 to 1888 largely to capture the lead, zinc and silver ore traffic from the mines at Broken Hill just over the border in New South Wales. Because the SAR was not allowed to operate into New South Wales, a private railway, the Silverton Tramway, was created to carry the ore across the border. The SAR and Silverton Tramway simply swapped locos at Cockburn on the border. It was called a "tramway" to get around a NSW law banning private railways but not private tramways. Despite the title it was a fully operating heavy haul narrow gauge railway.
The SAR had a monopoly on the ore traffic until 1919 when the NSWGR (New South Wales Government Railways) completed its own line to Broken Hill but the SAR continued to carry the bulk of the ore because the port and smelter at Port Pirie was much closer to Broken Hill.
By 1970 the narrow gauge line had been converted to standard gauge and the Silverton Tramway ceased its ore hauling operations. Today, more than a century after it was formed, the Silverton Company, as it is now known, is still providing shunting services at Broken Hill and motive power to rail operators.
