A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session
Mixed passenger and freight run from Peterborough to Paratoo. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 
The region between Peterborough and Broken Hill is very sparsely populated - cattle, mining and maintaining the railway were the major activities. Most, or in some cases all, of the houses at the settlements along the line were built for railway track workers and their families.

There was an express passenger service that ran to Broken Hill but between Peterborough and Broken Hill it only stopped to load water and coal, and to change the loco and crew. The current passenger service, the Indian-Pacific, only stops at Broken Hill, Peterborough and Port Pirie. Local stopping passenger services were provided by a passenger car attached to a freight service. This scenario replicates that service between Peterborough and Paratoo.
