A drop off and pickup freight service between Gladstone and Wilmington. Options from the 1964 and 1982 timetables are available. Bottom
 The Historical Bit 

The 1964 Working Timetable for the  Wilmington Line  contained two weekly freight services through to Wilmington with an additional service terminating at Booleroo Centre. Additional services to Wilmington and Booleroo Centre would also run "when required".

The 1982 Working Timetable consisted of a single weekly freight service to Wilmington. By 1984 the freight and livestock facilities at most of the locations along the line had been permanently closed.

The line had no signals beyond Gladstone Yard and train order working was in operation. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has been removed. Most of the track right of way is now a walking and cycling Rail Trail.


Wilmington Local Freight
 Era:  1920s to 1980s
 Duration:  upto 3 hours (one way)
 Loco:  SAR T 257 on Gladstone  Yard 2  or

SAR 830 in Gladstone  Loco Depot 

See Loco Roster Label.png for a full list of locos.
 Consist:  Attached to SAR T 257 or at Gladstone  Goods Transfer Narrow Gauge  Platform (trackmark TM Gladstone Goods Transfer Dual Dn) for SAR 830
The wagons have been placed in the order of their destinations from the front (loco) end. Each wagon has its destination shown in its View Details display. For some destinations the Train № is also shown, for example Stone Hut (221). If no Train № is shown then that destination is for ALL services using that wagon. The Train № is shown in the Working Timetable below.

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 (for example: to match the train timetable shown below) 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 the loco, in this case SAR T 257 or SAR 830 (or just T 257 or 830 should be enough). 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 (SAR T 257 or SAR 830) OR
    • the driver icon (named Driver 257 or Driver 830) - 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 Gladstone Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Gladstone. 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.
