Broken Hill railway line
The Broken Hill railway line is now part of the transcontinental railway from Sydney to Perth.
New South Wales's first line opened from Sydney to Parramatta Junction (near Granville Station) in 1855 and was extended as the Main Western line in stages to Orange in 1877. The Broken Hill line branched off the Main Western line at Orange and was opened to Molong in 1885. It was extended to Parkes and Forbes in 1893. This line was extended from Parkes to Bogan Gate and Condobolin in 1898 and Roto and Trida in 1919.
An isolated section of line was also opened from Menindee to Broken Hill in 1919, which met the gauge Silverton Tramway at a break-of-gauge. At Cockburn, the Silverton Tramway connected with the South Australian Railways system to Port Pirie and via a break of gauge at Terowie to Adelaide. The final missing link between Trida and Menindee was completed in 1927. The ''Broken Hill Express'', running from Sydney to Broken Hill, was introduced from November 1927. Included in its composition was Dining Car AB90, making it the first regularly scheduled Dining Car in that state.〔''On-train Catering in New South Wales'' Banger, Chris Australian Railway History, March, 2004 pp102-103〕 In 1969, the Broken Hill - Port Pirie line was standardised, completing the Sydney–Perth standard gauge link.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Broken Hill Line )〕
