HistoryThe first section of the line opened from Gawler. It was built to service the copper mining at Kapunda, opened on 13 August 1860.[1] It was extended to Morgan on 23 September 1878[2] to provide a more efficient freight and passenger connection between the Murray paddle steamers and both the city of Adelaide and Port Adelaide for ocean transport.[3][4] The Eudunda to Morgan section closed on 2 November 1969, followed by the Kapunda to Eudunda section on 11 March 1994.[3][5] The Gawler to Kapunda section theoretically remains open but has not been used for some years.{{Citation needed|date=February 2017|reason=need reference for open, or date and ref for closure}} RouteThe Kapunda railway was the first extension of the line from Adelaide to Gawler. It passed through Roseworthy from where the Peterborough line later branched and Freeling to Kapunda. The extension continued through Eudunda then across the plains adjacent to what is now the Thiele Highway to Morgan. The Robertstown line branch opened in 1914 from Eudunda to Robertstown.[3][6] Possible extensionThere were proposals to extend the line to connect to Wentworth, New South Wales,[7] and even to Hay to provide a more direct rail route to Sydney.[8] References1. ^Opening of the Kapunda Railway South Australian Advertiser 14 August 1860 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article29364977 |title=Opening of the North-West Bend Railway |newspaper=The South Australian Advertiser |location=Adelaide |date=2 November 1878 |accessdate=3 September 2014 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Quinlan|first1=Howard|last2=Newland|first2=John|title=Australian Railway Routes 1854 - 2000|date=2000|publisher=Australian Railway Historical Society|location=Redfern|isbn=0 909650 49 7|page=55}} 4. ^The Formation of the South Australian Railways National Railway Museum 5. ^Railways Visit Morgan 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5433523 |title=Robertstown Railway|newspaper=The Advertiser |location=Adelaide |date=10 December 1914 |accessdate=23 September 2015 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article42974072 |title=Public Works |newspaper=South Australian Register |location=Adelaide |date=14 June 1879 |accessdate=3 September 2014 |page=3 Supplement: Supplement to the South Australian Register. |via=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article127437641 |title=Hay to Morgan |newspaper=The Maitland Weekly Mercury |location=NSW |date=10 June 1922 |accessdate=3 September 2014 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}} External links
