Introduction

For two generations the story of the locomotive and the horse coach overlapped and, in 1854, the first line in Australia was laid between Goolwa and Port Elliot for a horse tramway to aid the development of a River Murray port.

When settlers first came one of their greatest needs was a fast means of transport between Adelaide and Port Adelaide. Bullocks and horses were used, but to the more progressive minded these animals were too slow. Then came the proposal to link up the two places with a railway. The engine and carriages proposed would be regarded as obsolete today; the locomotive was of the 'puffing-billy' type and its noisy clattering over the rails was watched with wonder by the public.

It was opened on 21 April 1856 and the great day was marked by a banquet at Port Adelaide. It is interesting to note that until about 1880 only a single line existed to Port Adelaide and trains were compelled to cross at Woodville. In that year the Adelaide Railway Station was completed on a site that was formerly a quarry; it was not a magnificent structure, but a good deal of money was spent on it. Some of the stone gathered from the quarry was used for buildings at the rear of the Public Library, where it can be seen today.

A family friend, Hugh Hayman, of Mile End, had the honour of placing the parts of the engine together for the train that first travelled on the Port Adelaide railway and was one of those who occupied a place on the foot plates when it gallantly drew its jubilant load of passengers to Adelaide. '? was guaranteed an appointment to assist Mr J.H. Clarke who was then on his way from England with the three engines and rolling stock ordered by the government', he told me. 'My appointment dated from October 1855 and was the first made in connection with the newly established Railways Department. For 27 years I served the government.'

The opening of the line for traffic was celebrated with manifestations of jubilation. The late Mr William Shakespeare, father of Inspector Shakespeare of the Adelaide Corporation, was the driver of the first engine on the track and everything passed off with perfect satisfaction. Mr Hayman remarked to me:

Complaining passengers aired their chagrin against the service in later years:

Adelaide took its railway seriously and a list of 15 rules for the guidance of passengers was published in the leading newspapers. They were warned, for instance, of the greater danger of express and excursion trains, and counselled to 'beware of sudden impulse to spring from the carriage to recover a hat which had been blown off.'

A line was laid to Gawler and, on 13 August 1860, the track, which had been extended to Kapunda, was declared open. An excursion train carrying 900 passengers steamed to Gawler, while at both terminals there were thousands of sightseers, flags, banners, garlands and an 'efficient' brass band. Once settlers realised the advantages of the railway they were eager for it and as a result there was a constant demand for new lines.

The element of novelty worn off, South Australia settled down to a prosaic programme of railway development, pursued with such energy that by the end of the century she was the most progressive builder, in proportion to population, in the world. By 1862 we had 57 miles, by 1907 1,833 miles - a little over 45 miles for every 10,000 people, built for £13,610,000. The activity had its germ in the Boucaut developmental policy of 1875, while his successors soared higher.

Between 1876 and 1887 1,209 miles were opened - in the north to tap the wheat country; in the far north to Farina and thence to Hergott Springs to open up pastoral wealth; in the east from Peterborough to Cockburn to draw the riches of the barrier Ranges to South Australia; to Morgan to combat Victoria's attempted stranglehold on river traffic; in the south-east from Naracoorte to Kingston and from Mount Gambier to Beachport to give sea outlets to rich farming areas.

A repercussion, perhaps, of the railway mania which crippled England, induced private enterprise to enter the field. Benjamin Boothby spent £30,000 on a line from Victoria Square to Glenelg, and Adelaide became familiar with the dismal clang of a bell as locomotives clanked along King William Street to the heart of the city.

Seven years later the Holdfast Bay Railway Company built a line from North Terrace to Glenelg and, for a few months, Adelaide was treated to a fierce rivalry of competitive fairs before the managements sank their differences in a merger under the title of the Glenelg Railway Company.

Finally came the greatest project of all, the piercing of the Adelaide hills, first as far as Aldgate, thence to Murray Bridge and eventually an extension to Melbourne. It deserves a chapter on its own, for the story is leavened with a record of perseverance and a dash of comedy.

Into the limbo of what might have been, pass conjectures of the possible outcome of the adoption of the most favoured of ten surveyed routes by way of Government House, east Park Lands, Dulwich, Fullarton, Mitcham, Brownhill Creek and so on to Nairne by way of the Hundreds of Noarlunga, Onkaparinga and Macclesfield. It was four miles shorter than the present line, but was rejected because of its steeper grade.

The government started earthworks and excavation of tunnels on the Belair route as relief work, but after £35,000 had been spent the first section between Adelaide and Mount Lofty was turned over to Walker and Swan at £182,000. There were eight tunnels to be driven, two deep ravines to be spanned and open cuts 57 feet deep to be blasted and gouged. Obstacles were surmounted and on 14 March 1883 the Nairne section was ready for opening.

The day brought a memorable fiasco. At 11 o'clock the governor, Sir William Robinson, the ministry and a distinguished party of 250, left Adelaide in a train drawn by one of the 'Yankee monsters' which, despite their heavy proportions and hideous screenings, were alleged to be the best in the world. Indeed, it was said that they could dash up the Nairne grades with an ordinary train at 30 miles per hour. That day they were confounded by their deeds.

The train drew out with a fine flourish and near Mitcham passengers gazed upon the beauties of the day and scene. The engine laboured on the first incline and in the first tunnel it panted asthmatically. On the spidery American viaduct it seemed likely to give up the ghost and passengers shrank at the thought of being thrown into the ravine far below.

The incline before the next tunnel was too much. The locomotive lurched convulsively to a standstill and it was ten minutes before it revived sufficiently to shunt back and take a second run. By dint of infinite tugging and straining it got over and crawled into Blackwood where it remained until a relief engine arrived. There most of the passengers got out to examine the ailing 'Yankee'.

To maintain a sufficient head of steam, the engineer had made the fire so fierce that the bars had melted out. Then, while remedies were being discussed, the engine suddenly puffed off with the Vice-regal and ministerial car, which had been uncoupled secretly. For over two hours 200 guests, hungry and thirsty, wandered about the incipient town of Blackwood until the relief engine arrived.

Meanwhile the governor had addressed gatherings at Mount Lofty and Aldgate and, when the 200 finally reached the terminus about four o'clock, there was the inevitable dinner garnished with speeches.

The initial farce was the precursor of a series of mishaps; a carriage went off the rails, a brake block left on the line upset another train, an engine left the line near Blackwood and another was derailed at the Adelaide platform. Yet the line lived down such an ominous start.

The next logical stage was the completion of the hills section and the crossing of the River Murray, but imagination boggled at the undertaking and the enthusiasm of legislators blew hot and cold. In a fit of optimism and energy the ironwork was imported from England and in a reaction of pessimism and parsimony it was allowed to rust at Dry Creek for years.

Finally, enterprise was warmed to execution and the spans and trusses were dragged by bullock waggon to Edward's Crossing where began the difficult task of sinking to solid rock far beneath the river bed the caissons. The foundation stone was laid by Governor Musgrave on 7 November 1873 and among the congregation were about twenty Aborigines, headed by Queen Monarto who caused much laughter when she said to His Excellency, 'Well gubner, what you give me? My old man dead; you take away this country and built a bridge. My people want you give 'em boats and food.'

In the tradition of those answering deputations the Governor paused, and then replied that he would consult with his advisers and see what could be done. The bridge was not opened for traffic until March 1879 and in 1886 it was ready for railway traffic.

In May 1886 the line to Bordertown was opened by a speech of 37 words, remarkable in a prolix age, delivered through a carriage window by the Chief Secretary, Mr J.C. Bray. In January 1887 the first express train arrived from Melbourne.

A Railway to Crafers

By the closing months of 1856 the idea of a railway through the ?Eastern Hills? was not exactly a new one in the minds of the government and some private citizens, but prior to that time the suggestions made on this subject were not characterised by much practicability. In October 1856 the Editor of the SA Register addressed the subject:

The Eastern ranges are a formidable barrier to that free interchange which would so greatly benefit the interests of town and country; and to many people that barrier appears both impenetrable and insurmountable. But, on the contrary, there are others who maintain the practicability of carrying our traffic either through or over the interposing ranges...

It is well known that canals have been cut through the most hilly and diversified countries, the waters being literally taken along the hillside by a system of locks and intervening levees. On a kindred principle, railways have for many years past been constructed at the great English quarries and collieries... In applying the same principles to the Glen Osmond Road, it would be necessary to adapt it with those modifications suggested by canal contrivances. As the ascending and descending train must be connected by one chain or cable, it follows that the space to be worked must not be too long, or a cable would be required of such prodigious strength that its weight alone would be fatal to the undertaking.

We are informed that a gentleman in Adelaide has so far convinced himself of the practicability of the idea that he would, at his own personal risk, undertake to carry it out for a very moderate sum. He would construct three series of levels, or gradients of an easy application, and the termination of each would be prepared for the ascent of the carriages. At the top of this incline a drum would be fixed, around which would pass the cable used for connecting the ascending and descending trains. Of course, the trains would both ascend and descend upon the same face of the inclined platform, a double set of rails being laid, with the revolving drum in the centre at the summit.

The descending trains would be laden with wheat and country produce, or with stone and firewood, In some places, where there is no down traffic, the descending force consists of water tanks, which are fixed on carriages and descend full, the water being let off at the bottom of the incline, and the goods taken out of the track at the top. The water tank being lighter than the goods? truck, the latter descends by gravity, bringing up the former.

The gentleman to whom we refer professes his readiness to contract for the execution for a railway of this description for £3,000 per mile, with £3,000 extra for esch lift... Considering the cost of constructing and repairing macadamised roads and considering the utter impossibility of ever having an easy road with such gradients as prevail between Glen Osmond and the top of the south-eastern ranges, we think the suggestion herein advanced may not be unworthy of attention...

Railways of the Lower South East

(Taken from an unpublished manuscript by G.H. Manning titled " A Social History of the Lower South East in the 19th Century.)

A volume could be written about the various railway schemes proposed for the south eastern districts to the seaboard and a halo of romance might be thrown around the story if the writer recounted the countless battles fought over the rival routes. However, it can be stated positively that the railways in the South East were built without a definite plan and merely to appease local demands.

In 1866, Rev J.E. Tenison Woods, then domiciled at Penola, said a tramway from MacDonnell Bay to Penola would give the largest amount of convenience to the settlers, while one from Guichen Bay to Penola would shut off a large portion of the south end of the district because, "the most important part of the district lies to the south of Penola". The most expensive tramway would, in his opinion, be from Lacepede Bay to Penola because of the swamps that had to be drained, which was essential, because a tramway built across them would dam up the whole of the drainage that flowed to the north-west.

There never were railway schemes so stretched, twisted and inverted as those proposed for the South East over several decades. In 1867 they commenced a chequered career under the auspices of Mr Santo who proposed to connect Naracoorte with Mount Gambier, without giving either of them an outlet to the seaboard. In that year a Bill was passed authorising a loan of £300,000 for its construction and, notwithstanding the absurdity of making a town 17 miles inland the terminus of such a line, people were satisfied to attribute it to inconsideration rather than injustice. Another line from Lacepede Bay to Naracoorte was also promised at this time

In the next session these proposals were shelved altogether and the district, after being cheated out of a year's expenditure upon its roads in this way, was only slightly better off as to its facilities for traffic at before the apparent, but delusive, willingness to concede justice to the South East, was proclaimed.

Later that year, the Ministry of the day proposed a policy of development for the South East by means of a comprehensive railway system, but without any connection to Adelaide. Their scheme was announced in the last session of parliament when a Bill was passed to authorise the construction of that isolated abortion and, in 1869, it was still on the Statute Book, but a little later in that year a ?half moon scheme? was propounded and recommended as comprising:

The legislature, in sheer despair how to adjudicate between two rival ports, lent itself to a magnificent log-rolling expedient which would have tied the two ports together and told them to fight it out. In the first instance local rivalry would have obliged, simultaneously, the railway to begin in the middle, but then the pacifying idea was to begin at both ends.

In the semi-circular scheme there was a very strong mixture of the childish with the useful. It properly consisted of two schemes, either of which by itself would have been highly commendable, but their amalgamation, so far from improving them, wasted money to spoil them. The northern and southern sections of the district had nothing in common with each other but a violent feeling of emulation, the natural cure for which was not a forced union, but independence.

They were physically separated from each other by a broad tract of inferior country which hardly required one, instead of a double, connection with the seaboard. The two ports which were so incongruously allied had every prospect of finding sufficient trade without infringing on each other.

To these parliamentary machinations the Border Watch replied:

River Torrens.

The new Bill before the House of Assembly endeavoured to stifle all future controversy by a crude compromise and, in order to avoid the discomfort of leaving in suspense the respective destination of the two railways, it ran them into each other and then boasted that both ends of the district were to be served alike. This expedient might have calmed the local rivalries for a time, but that would have been its highest success for the people of the South East would have soon discovered that it was a senseless and costly experiment.

The Bill was rushed through the Committee stages and £305,000 was allotted to the Lacepede Bay to Naracoorte line, £125,000 for Naracoorte to the Border, £320,000 for Naracoorte to Gambierton and £100,000 for Gambierton to Port MacDonnell and to this the Editor of the Register opined:

By this time the energetic representations of James Cooke of Lacepede Bay, who had acquired considerable influence in parliamentary circles and, when later in the session the Ministry introduced a policy authorising only the construction of a line from Naracoorte to Mount Gambier, they were met by active opposition and the proposal was emasculated.

The Lacepedians ridiculed the idea of making a line from one inland town to another as all plant and material would have to be carted from MacDonnell Bay at the one end and at the other from Lacepede Bay to Naracoorte, over a track almost impassable to heavy traffic. They also pleaded for the commencement of a line to Lacepede Bay.

The government was unmoved and the Bill passed through both Houses, but the measure contained no authority for issuing a loan for the cost of construction. In 1868 a party of "retrenchment" was formed and its leader, Mr H.R. Fuller, obtained leave to introduce a Bill to repeal the Act and only withdrew it when the Premier, Mr Strangways, gave an assurance that no steps would be taken in the matter until after the next meeting of Parliament.

Galvanised into action the Editor of the Border Watch entered the fray on behalf his "neck of the woods":

We should like to be able to give at least a little tacit support to the Port Caroline and Border Railway. But we must confess we are too intimately acquainted with the district to be able to do so. We have grave doubts as to our railway projects, even under the most favourable auspices. We think it is possible the Railway Commission will find that we have been attempting to get along too fast..

But if railways are to be proceeded with, they should only be constructed where there was at least some show to be made of returns... We say emphatically any system of railways for the South East should start at Port MacDonnell, it would pay nowhere else in the South East... This Lacepede Bay line starts from nowhere and goes nowhere...

In 1869, the Hon. John Colton, as Commissioner of Public Works, introduced another Bill for a line from Lacepede Bay to MacDonnell Bay, via Naracoorte, Penola and Mount Gambier, with a branch to the border. This Bill failed in the Legislative Council and a new House, elected in 1870, turned away from the proposal. The Act of 1867, however, remained on the Statute Book until 1887 when the line, completed by Messre Moore and Blanch, was opened from Naracoorte and Mount Gambier.

A few words on the action taken by Port MacDonnell end of the South East last session in reference to the proposed railway -. It did not originate (as the Wallaroo Times said) with an English company. It was entirely a government scheme. They proposed what was thought to be absurd - a loop-line from one port to another - and when the Bill came into the House of Assembly it was evident that the Port MacDonnell and Mount Gambier people did not want it. Indignation meetings were held and their member primed to oppose the Bill unless the line was granted for the whole distance. It passed the Assembly but lapsed in the Legislative Council.

A Robe-ite, not comprehending that his town was doomed to isolation as far as the legislature was concerned, expressed his opinions in December 1869 while a civil engineer passed a scathing opinion upon the proposals:

It appears incredible that this Bill should ever pass and it is quite time that the eyes of our legislators should be opened before they are committed to such a monstrous piece of folly.

By 1872, the labours of parliament in respect of the Bill were extremely arduous and most unprofitable, for no sooner did the members approach a determinate result, but something cropped up to render them unavailing and the work had to be laboriously gone over again. The word of promise conveyed to the residents of the South East, and so repeatedly broken, culminated in a surprise when, in 1872, an Act was passed authorising the construction of a line from Kingston to Naracoorte. The government of the day, like many of their predecessors declared themselves to be favourable to the immediate construction of the railway, but adopted the course that was calculated to delay its commencement and gratify the members of the district, whose persistent opposition to the work was, to say the least, peculiar. This line was formally opened by the Hon. John Colton in 1877.

At the close of 1876, and with a Mount Gambier to Rivoli Bay railway mooted, the Border Watch became staunch supporters of a railway to Casterton, a distance of about 40 miles:

About 1878 the people of Penola began agitating for a railway to Millicent which would place it within 56 miles of Beachport and in this, of course, they were supported by the Rivoli Bay shippers and others along the line of route - they showed that about 17,000 tons of produce, etc, would go by rail instead of wearing out main roads. But the loyal folk of Robe and Kingston were not to be induced easily to give up their claim that the extension from Penola should come in their direction - here are their divergent views:

Then followed the construction of the Mount Gambier line to Beachport and the extension from Naracoorte to Bordertown. Then the Adelaide to Nairne line was extended to the border and, at Bordertown, the much-desired junction with the South Eastern system.
