Descripción Soft cover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 56 Pages with Black/White Photos. Peterborough sits on the intersection of the East-West railway linking Port Pirie and Broken Hill, and the North-South railway linking Adelaide eventually to Alice Springs via Quorn, both narrow gauge (1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in)) lines. The line from Port Pirie and Jamestown arrived in 1881, followed shortly after by the line from Terowie in the south. The line to Broken Hill was completed in 1887.[5] Peterborough was the home town for Bob the Railway Dog who is remembered by a bronze statue located in the Main Street. In 1970, the East-West line was converted to standard gauge (1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1/2 in)), and the line south of Peterborough to Terowie to broad gauge (1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in)). Thus Peterborough became one of three, triple-gauge railway junctions in Australia. The others being Gladstone and Port Pirie, all on the same railway corridor. Nº de ref. del artículo: UB-03863
