Pichi Richi Railway

Pichi Richi Railway is a preserved narrow-gauge heritage railway operating between Quorn and Port Augusta in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Built in 1878-1879 as part of the Port Augusta to Government Gums line and later part of the original Ghan route, it was preserved from 1973 by volunteers. It is notable for its historic steam and diesel locomotives, restored carriages, and scenic journey through Pichi Richi Pass.

Visitors can expect a heritage train journey through the scenic Pichi Richi Pass between Quorn and Woolshed Flat or Port Augusta. The experience centres on the historic Quorn railway station precinct with its museum, workshops, and restored rolling stock. Rides are in vintage narrow-gauge carriages hauled by steam or heritage diesel locomotives, passing rugged ranges, dry creek beds and historic cuttings. Services are volunteer-operated and run on scheduled days with commentary and photo stops.
