Quorn railway station was located on the Central Australian Railway serving the South Australian town of Quorn. ==History== Quorn station opened on 15 December 1879 as the interim terminus of the Central Australian Railway from Port Augusta. On 28 June 1880, it was extended north to Hawker, and eventually to Alice Springs in 1929.〔(Port Augusta to Marree ) Chris' Commonwealth Railways〕 In 1881, Quorn became a junction station with the opening of a line from Peterborough and the south.〔(Peterborough ) National Railway Museum〕 In anticipation of the completion of the Trans-Australian Railway across the Nullarbor Plain in 1917, and the line via Quorn becoming part of the East-West route, a new station opened in 1915. In 1937, the East-West services were diverted to a new route via Port Pirie.〔〔(History of the Pichi Richi Railway ) Pichi Richi Preservation Society〕 In 1957, a new standard gauge Stirling North to Marree line opened, resulting in the closure of the narrow gauge line beyond Hawker. The Stirling North to Hawker section closed on 1 June 1972.〔 The line from Quorn to Peterborough closed on 3 March 1987.〔 The line from Quorn to Stirling North was progressively restored by the Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society from 1974. It was completed in 1999. The final seven kilometres into Port Augusta opened on a new alignment in 2001.〔(Pichi Richi Preservation Society line ) SA Track & Signal〕 Quorn station is the society's headquarters. 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「Quorn railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
