Summary
[edit]DescriptionSouth Australian Railways broad and narrow gauge turnout -- both depart, BG ahead -- Gladstone (KNorgrove).jpg |
English: South Australian Railways broad and narrow gauge turnout -- both gauges depart -- Gladstone, South Australia. Single-point turnout for broad gauge only with narrow gauge only on diverging track. Use of fixed point on left removes risk of derailing a narrow gauge train when the broad gauge is set for straight as shown. In 1970, the line from Port Pirie to Broken Hill was opened after several years' engineering work to convert it to standard gauge, resulting in all three mainline gauges used in Australia – 1435 mm standard gauge, 1600 mm broad gauge, and 1067 mm narrow gauge – meeting in the railway yards at Gladstone. In the late 1980s, the broad and narrow gauge lines were closed, leaving Gladstone as standard gauge only. |
