From the 1880s to the late 1970s '''Peterborough''' was the busiest railway hub in '''South Australia'''. It was the headquarters for the Northern Division and responsible for train control and maintenance. The maintenance centre employed over 1,000 workers to service and maintain over 100 train movements each day.<br>
The <span style="font-weight: 700; color: white; background-color: black;">&#160;Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line&#160;</span> was converted to standard gauge (4ft8&#189;in - 1435mm) during 1969-1970 and '''Gladstone''' then became a triple gauge location (narrow, standard and broad gauges) until the closure of the narrow and broad gauge lines by 1990.<br>


The '''Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line''' was converted to standard gauge (4ft8&#189;in - 1435mm) during 1969-1970 and the '''Peterborough-Terowie Line''' was converted to dual gauge by the addition of broad gauge (5ft3in - 1600mm) in 1970. The '''Peterborough-Quorn Line''' was left as a narrow gauge line making Peterborough a triple gauge location until the closure of the non-standard gauge lines in 1988.<br>
At its peak, before standardisation, '''Gladstone''' employed over 1,000 workers in servicing locomotives and the break-of-gauge facilities.<br>


'''Peterborough''' is now just a crossing loop. The main loco depot is now a static museum for the '''[https://www.steamtown.com.au/ Steamtown Peterborough Railway Preservation Society]''' and most other facilities have been removed. The railway station has been retained and until a few years ago was serviced by the luxury '''Indian-Pacific''' passenger train running between '''Sydney''', '''Adelaide''' and '''Perth'''. That service no longer stops at '''Peterborough''' and there are no other rail passenger services.
'''Gladstone''' is now just a crossing loop and a grain terminal. The loco servicing facilities have been removed. The station building still stands but is no longer in use. There are no rail passenger services.

 Distance from Port Pirie:  52 kms, 32¼ miles  from Peterborough:  65½ kms, 40¾ miles

A major manned station, junction and a break-of-gauge location on the narrow gauge (3ft6in - 1067mm)  Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line  and  Gladstone-Wilmington Line , and the broad gauge (5ft3in - 1600mm)  Gladstone-Hamley Bridge-Adelaide Line . To keep things simple, only a few dual narrow and broad gauge tracks, and no dual gauge switches, are used in the layout.

Multiple loops, yards and sidings for goods, grain, livestock, station, transfer platforms and loco servicing facilities.

The  Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line  was converted to standard gauge (4ft8½in - 1435mm) during 1969-1970 and Gladstone then became a triple gauge location (narrow, standard and broad gauges) until the closure of the narrow and broad gauge lines by 1990.

At its peak, before standardisation, Gladstone employed over 1,000 workers in servicing locomotives and the break-of-gauge facilities.

Gladstone is now just a crossing loop and a grain terminal. The loco servicing facilities have been removed. The station building still stands but is no longer in use. There are no rail passenger services.
