Railway Policy

edit

Because of the indented nature of the coastline, large areas of South Australia were served by shipping long before there were railways. Many of these railways started as independent lines (sometimes of different gauges) which extended into the hinterland and were not expected to join to form a network until later on.

Since the Murray River has no really navigatable outlet to the sea, a short isolated tramway or railway needed to be built.
