Opened in stages from 1881, it was built to narrow gauge and joined Mount Gambier railway station, which was at that time the eastern terminus of a line to Beachport. It connected at Naracoorte to another isolated narrow gauge line joining Naracoorte to Kingston SE, and to the broad gauge Adelaide-Wolseley line at Wolseley, at around the same time that was extended to Serviceton to become the South Australian part of the Melbourne–Adelaide railway. There has been regular calls for its standardisation between Wolseley and Heywood since its closure over the past two decades. HistoryKingston to NaracoorteAn isolated line was built in 1876 from the port at Kingston SE inland via Lucindale to Naracoorte as narrow gauge then was converted to broad gauge on the edge of the ports township in 1957. It closed on 28 November 1987.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} Rivoli Bay to Mount GambierAnother narrow gauge railway was built from the port on Rivoli Bay at what is now Beachport inland via Millicent to Mount Gambier in 1878. The line and jetty at Beachport provided the ability for farms in the district to export wool and grain. When the line was converted to broad gauge in 1957, it was cut back and no longer served Beachport, but only Mount Gambier to Millicent until it closed in April 1995.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} Part of the line was used by the Limestone Coast Railway tourist service, until it ceased on 1 July 2006.[1] Mount Gambier to WolseleyThe railway connecting Mount Gambier to Naracoorte was initially approved by the Parliament of South Australia in 1867 to be built to {{track gauge|5ft3in}} gauge.[1] However it was not built at this time, and that act was repealed by a later authorisation in 1884 to build it on the same alignment to {{track gauge|3ft6in}} gauge.[2] On 21 September 1881, the first section of the line opened from Naracoorte to Tatiara. It was extended north to Wolseley on 18 April 1883 and south from Naracoorte to Mount Gambier on 14 June 1887.[3][4] The Mount Gambier line was gauge converted to broad gauge in 1953 being a duel gauge line then with the narrow gauge being completely removed by 1959 .[3] Australian National passenger services ceased on 31 December 1990.[5]When the Melbourne–Adelaide railway was converted to standard gauge, the Mount Gambier to Wolseley line was not converted and was closed on 12 April 1995.[3] In 2001, expressions of interest were sought for a private operator to reopen the line with the state government offering financial assistance to gauge convert, but nothing came of it. If done so it would be the first in Australia to have all 3 gauges. [6] Part of the line was used by the Limestone Coast Railway tourist service, until it ceased 1 July 2006.[7] On 15 August 2018 the SARRA (South Australian Regional Rail Aliance) called on the State Government to standardise the line for freight and possible passenger services but still nothing has come of this either. Glencoe branchOn 22 August 1904, a 14.2-kilometre narrow gauge branch-line was constructed from Wandilo, 13 kilometres north of Mount Gambier, to Glencoe.[8] The branch closed in June 1957 when the Mount Gambier Wolseley line was all converted to only broad gauge.[3][9] Victorian connection{{further|Mount Gambier-Heywood railway line}}On 28 November 1917, the Victorian Railways opened a broad gauge line from Heywood.[3][10] This line was closed on 11 April 1995. Part of this line was used for Limestone Coast Railway tourist services to the border until it ceased 1 July 2006. [3] StationsThe stations and sidings included:[11] {{columns-list|colwidth=10em |
