<br>

From 1917 to 1932 the <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&nbsp;Terowie-Peterborough-Quorn-Port&nbsp;Augusta&nbsp;Line&nbsp;</span> was a vital part of the transcontinental rail link between '''Sydney, NSW''' on the east coast and '''Perth, WA''' on the west coast.<br>

The '''South Australian Railways''' provided an express passenger service, the '''East-West Express''', that ran between '''Terowie''' and '''Port Augusta''' via '''Quorn'''. The name "East-West" came from its role in connecting the eastern side of the continent to the western side - in reality the service ran mostly North-South. The return service, from '''Port Augusta''' to '''Terowie''', was called the '''West-East Express'''.<br>

At '''Terowie''' it connected with broad gauge services from '''Adelaide''' and '''Melbourne'''. At '''Peterborough''' it connected with narrow gauge services from '''Broken Hill''' where there was a standard gauge connection from '''Sydney'''. At '''Quorn''' it connected with narrow gauge services from the <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&nbsp;Central&nbsp;Australia&nbsp;Railway&nbsp;</span>. At '''Port Augusta''' it connected with the standard gauge <span style="color: white; background-color: black; font-weight: 700;">&nbsp;Trans&nbsp;Continental&nbsp;Railway&nbsp;</span> to '''Kalgoolie''', where there was a narrow gauge connection to '''Perth'''.

Passengers making the entire trip from '''Sydney''' to '''Perth''' would:-
* change trains 5 times - at '''Parkes NSW''', '''Broken Hill NSW''', '''Peterborough SA''', '''Port Augusta SA''' and '''Kalgoolie WA''' plus take a taxi between the standard gauge and narrow gauge stations in '''Broken Hill'''
* change track gauges 3 times - standard gauge to narrow at '''Broken Hill''', narrow gauge back to standard at '''Port Augusta''' and standard gauge to narrow at '''Kalgoolie'''
*navigate through 5 different rail systems - '''NSWGR''', '''Silverton Tramway''', '''SAR''', '''Commonwealth Railways''' and '''WAGR'''
The entire journey, from coast to coast, could take 6 days, if all the connections were made. 

In 1932 a more direct broad gauge line from '''Adelaide''' to '''Port Augusta''' via '''Port Pirie''' was completed. This cut nearly 70 miles (113km) off the journey. The '''East-West Express''' then ran as a broad gauge service on that line although an express passenger service continued to run between '''Terowie''' and '''Port Augusta''' until 1937. In 1970 the narrow and broad gauge lines from '''Broken Hill''' to '''Port Pirie''', '''Port Pirie''' to '''Port Augusta''' and '''Kalgoolie''' to '''Perth''' were converted to standard gauge, followed by the later conversion of the broad gauge line from '''Adelaide''' to '''Port Pirie'''.

Today passengers can board a luxury train, the '''Indian Pacific''', in '''Sydney''' and travel the entire distance to '''Perth''' via '''Adelaide''' in 3 days without leaving the train or changing gauge.

#*Open the '''Finder Tool''' (press <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: white; background-color: black;">&nbsp;Ctrl&nbsp;</span> <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: white; background-color: black;">&nbsp;F&nbsp;</span>) and type, in the '''Name''' field, the name of the loco, in this case '''SAR T 197''' (or just '''T 197''' 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 the '''loco name''' ('''SAR T 197''') then click the drivers '''Eye''' icon [[image:Driver_Eye.png|link=]] to take control of the loco
# Take a few moments to get your bearings. Use the [[image:Line_Index_Terowie.png|link=SAR_Terowie_V1|Terowie Data]] (this link will open in this window) to load its location details and track plans. In each location details page:-
#*the [[image:Tab_HM_White.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
#*the [[image:Tab_TM_Grey.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;tab reveals the invisible [[image:Trackmark_Right.png|link=|alt=TM|8px]]&nbsp;'''Track Marks''' for '''Drive To''' commands.
#*the [[image:Tab_IN_Grey.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
#*the [[image:Tab_SW_Grey.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
# Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
# 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.
# Switch back to '''Driver Mode''' and either close the opening message window or press the <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: white; background-color: black;">&nbsp;P&nbsp;</span> key to start the session.
