Summary

Railway Station at Peterborough. This was originally opened in 1880 when a narrow gauge line opened from Port Pirie to the west. In 1881 a line arrived from Terowie. The town sat at the intersection of the East-West railway and the North-South railway. Originally named Petersburg the name was changed to Peterborough in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment during World War I. This photograph shows the many lines running through the station and the station buildings
