Gawler railway station is located on the Gawler Central line.〔(Gawler Central timetable ) Adelaide Metro 4 February 2013〕 Situated in the South Australian town of Gawler, it is 39.8 kilometres from Adelaide station. ==History== Gawler station opened in 1857 as the terminus of the Gawler Central line. It was built on pastoral land owned by the local parliamentary member of the period. The original platform building was replaced in 1879.〔(Bassett Town & the Railway ) Town of Gawler〕 Subsequently, it had a horse-drawn tram servicing Gawler's main street (Murray Street), almost a kilometre away. With the opening of the Barossa Valley line, Gawler Central station was built. The current station contains a kiosk and three platforms. South of the station, lie stabling sidings for Adelaide Metro's rolling stock. The Gawler Lions Club has adopted the station for restoration work. It now houses an art gallery, displaying local artists, and is open on weekends. The club also successfully lobbied for a steam engine built by James Martin & Sons, previously located on Thomas Terrace between the Gawler Oval and Gawler Central stations. The locomotive is also in the process of being restored.〔(Projects ) Gawler Lions Club〕 n March 2012 an upgrade of the station was completed. The heritage train shed was dismantled for restoration off-site, both platforms upgraded and a new toilet installed.〔(Stations Upgrade Program ) Department of Planing, Transport & Infrastructure〕 Gawler station marks the end of the double track section from Adelaide, with the line becoming single track just north of the station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gawler railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
