The '''Port Augusta-Hawker Line''' was owned by the '''Commonwealth Railways''' but was operated by the '''SAR'''. This line originally extended all the way to '''Alice Springs''' at the centre of the continent, 1220km from '''Port Augusta'''. The narrow gauge section to '''Hawker''' via '''Quorn''' was bypassed in the 1930s and then replaced by a standard gauge line on a new alignment in the 1950s.
After the closure of the '''Port Augusta-Hawker Line''' (1972) and '''Peterborough-Quorn Line''' (1987-88) '''Quorn''' became the operations centre for the '''Pichi Richi Railway''', a preserved narrow gauge steam railway running from '''Quorn''' to '''Port Augusta'''.
