  • Travel with the train driver as we journey from Port Augusta to Saltia on this first part of the journey along the Pichi Richi Railway in the state of South Australia on a W class steam locomotive. Marvel at the scenery as we climb through the rugged Flinders ranges. September 2023.

    I do like the contrasts in this line, traveling from the coast, past lakes and through the flats, before climbing up to the western end of the pass.

    G'day, South Australia has been a favourite destination for holidays and being a Train Nut l have visited most of the network, the narrow gauge and the standard sometimes running side by side and the difference engines and that landscape make it special, thanks for the video the rest of the trip I'm looking forward too, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

    Thanks for sharing. September 2016 my wife and I travelled on the 1927(?) rail motor from Pt Augusta to Quorn. This was the original route from Pt Augusta to Alice Springs.

    I travelled on this railway when I was 2 months old in January 2013, I hated opening the windows because the wind would come through
