North-South Railway Plan Voted By Public Works Panel
The Federal Public Works Committee urges a 24 ft 3 in line from Redhill to Port Augusta via Pirie to Adelaide with a three-rail mix, costing £1.2 million for Commonwealth and £37,000 for SA. Estimated 18 months to build, expected revenue £100,755 yearly, net loss about £5,870, offset by regional gains and faster freight movement.

Route of the Line in South Australia Rail Debate
A statement by A W Lacey explains that a through line from Port Augusta to Adelaide has been discussed since a Premier Federal agreement. The plan includes a 1 ft 82 in gauge from Port Augusta to Medhill and a third rail Redhill to Port Pirie, with route alignment roughly following the South Australian committee’s proposal to serve Pirie and Port Augusta with a broad gauge line while mitigating third rail needs.
