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 employees and their families.
There was an express passenger service that ran from Port Pirie to Broken Hill but between Peterborough and Broken Hill it only stopped to load water and coal, and to change the crew. Local stopping passenger services were usually provided by a passenger car or a combined passenger/guard van attached to a local freight service. This scenario replicates that service between Peterborough and Paratoo. |
