This project was known as the Port Augusta to Government Gums Railway, and was the first part of the schem that was at that time called variously the Transcontinental Railway or the Great Northern Railway. It reached Hergott Springs (Marree) and Oodnadatta while financed by the South Australian government. See the Adelaide Observer 27 May 1882 for an article on the Great Northern Railway.
