Manned station, depot, terminus and a major break-of-gauge location on the  Peterborough-Terowie Line .

Multiple loops and sidings for the station, goods and livestock transfers with loco servicing facilities.

The line was converted to broad gauge (5' 3", 1600mm) and the gauge transfer facilities and loco depot were closed in 1970. Terowie then lost its sole reason for existance and became a ghost town. Terowie station was the place where US Army General Douglas Macarthur made his famous "I shall return" speech after he had been evacuated from the Philipines in 1942.

The entire broad gauge line was closed in 1988. The township of Terowie has since had a tourist revival because of its preserved 1950s and 60s shops and buildings.
