Multiple loops, yards and sidings for goods, grain, livestock, station, transfer platforms and loco servicing facilities. Many of the tracks were dual gauge and later, triple gauge (for simplicity multi-gauge tracks are not used in this layout). Port Pirie is 32km (20mi) directly North West of Gladstone or 51km (31.5mi) by rail. The Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line was converted to standard gauge during 1969-1970 and Gladstone then became a triple gauge location until the closure of the narrow and broad gauge lines. Gladstone now has just a passing loop and a grain terminal. The station building still stands but is no longer in use. The loco servicing facilities have been removed.
