- All aboard for this exploration of the old Yorke Peninsula railway lines in 2022. We’ll take a look at what remains of the old lines, yards, and buildings, as well as find some tiny railways that still operate!
Thanks to my family and to Chris for being good sports and helping out.
The two small railways featured are:

Thanks to 'Hairylegs' for their .kmz file. It's an amazing piece of digital work. I base my map animations on the paths contained in that file for Google Earth Pro.

I so loved the old train network throughout SA and how it kept so many country towns alive. Thanks for the opportunity to reminisce. Hoping one day they start bringing them back!
No worries. The decline of the railways brought huge changes indeed.
What a brilliant video, very informative, wonderfully narrated and beautifully put together!! big thumbs up and shared !!
I Remember the Tourist train from Wallaroo to Kadina as a Kid to Adult and the Rumblings of the ground as the train passed through sounding the horn and hearing the choonka choonka from the train running along the line. I will never forget.
Great video mate!
Thankyou for sharing i will be looking forward to more of your great videos Cheers
I loved checking these stations out and was glad to see how Moonta and Wallaroo at least kept their stations and some rail around it. Kadina however is just trash how it is just a car park! such a Giant FU to history and rail in general and a testament to Australia and S.A as a whole how we focus on the car so much :(. That aside I do love the drone footage as I only ever could take ground shots from my phones camera lol.
Keep these videos coming. Very enjoyable. Fantastic effort
If you run out of subjects to document, you could do the rivers in SA eg Gawler , Light, Broughton etc . That would make for some fantastic footage, especially with all the rain about👍
A world destination of steam tourism has been demolished. Dare we dream large? Adelaide to Coonawarra/Mt Gambier, Adelaide to Barossa/Clare, Adelaide to Strathalbyn/Langhorne Creek (existing), Adelaide to McLaren Vale/Willunga. An endless world of train and wine enthusiasts awaits our brilliant heritage and wind regions in SA if we grasp the whole story of what we once had and could do again. A huge statement of world-class toursim across a globally accepted industry of food, wine and historic train travel. A huge boost to the regions. An unlimited audience. Dare we?
You missed one of the old SAR steam locomotives on static display in the park at Kadina - it is quite a popular item, especially for the kids!
I moved over here from Victoria was shocked by the absence of regional rail. There should at least be a regional rail service linking port Lincoln to Whyalla to Port Augusta Germein Pirie to Crystal Brook to Kadina to Adelaide
Even during the peak of railway in SA, Eyre Peninsula was never connected to the rest of SA, The national network only ever went as far as Whyalla. But way back many years, Port Lincoln was serviced by the same ferry as Kangaroo Island and people could get to Adelaide by boat instead of train.
@@stuarthancock571 Port Augusta Port Pirie Crystal Brook had the Bluebird train according to what old-timers have told me
All Railway lines shouldn't of closed. Look what we could of had.
Good stuff, most enjoyable. Cheers.
Thanks for watching and commenting, mots!
Love your work!
Thank you, Neil. I still have a long list of projects so stay tuned.
The platform at Bute was built by Yorke Peninsula Rail when we started running trains from Kadina to Bute. In the SAR days the only platform there was the goods platform
Thanks for that information! The platform certainly did look relatively modern.
@@Outdoorstype I wish it was a bit longer. Trying to line up three BE carriages was a pain. Wasn’t so bad with a four car railcar set
I'm so chuffed that an actual train driver who drove trains there has watched my video! Thanks for watching!
Great video history, thanks
Thanks for another great vid. I have fond memories of the train ride through the Hummocks after being at Mums farm at Balaklava (to Bowman then Pt Wakefield), Paskeville (my cousins), Kadina, Wallaroo Mines (dads birthplace), Wallaroo and checking out Moonta Mines.
Another ripper video! Love your style!
Thank you so much, peace meal.
What about Port Broughton? I think I remember train lines on or near the Jetty - and being a port - and there was a channel there - maybe for a larger boat - there could have been trains for transport local product
Thanks for watching, Ted. Port Broughton was my very next video.

@@Outdoorstype Right - I had better find it and watch it. Thanks
Thankyou for making this video ,it s excellent hope you don't mind that I ve shared on fb
No worries. Thank you and thanks for watching.
Sad that all these lines have just disappeared into history over the years
I truly enjoyed this video.. Since moving down to Australia 13-14 years ago from UK and India; I have been to many parts in Australia especially most of these country towns in South Australia.. I`ve been to Moonta, Wallaroo, Port Wakefield and surrounding places multiple times and photography is one of my interests...I get fascinated every time I see an abandoned railway track and thank you very much for bringing this video.. Some of the scenes like the long shot of Moonta railway station and the last 3-4 minutes looks exceptionally stunning.. Liked, subscribed and thanks again..
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment so nicely. I hope I can bring you more interesting videos.
There is parts of Port Wakefield has the part of a duel gauge remaining. It's right of the main entrance of the Caravan Park and finishes up near the big shed is Left of the Railway Station.
At Wallaroo had a line Rail line that many years ago was connected to to Moonta to Wallaroo Line and ran through the Wallaroo Golf course and down Ryan Street. That is why the road has that curve to it.
The Turn table is in the grass area around the side of the solo's that face the ocean and heading to Moonta direction. The line had many branches that led of it and the line that connected Moonta to Wallaroo runs around that Turntable and runs alongside the Grain Storage that is closest to the silos on Wallaroo to Moonta Road and crossed the road and linked up to the bike and walking trail is now.
Really interesting .. such a shame it is no longer used . More freight can be carried far more economically environmentally friendly by rail than by road. Rail was often the lifeblood of these small towns. Rail is great for tourism and also for those who can no longer drive
