- "Australian National Railways The Ghan passenger train in earlier days operated through from Port Augusta to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory on narrow gauge (3' 6'' or 1067 mm) throughout its 772 miles journey. Now a new 'Ghan' train, operating on standard gauge (1435 mm) from Port Pirie to Alice Springs via the new Tarcoola-Alice Springs line for 1335 km makes possible a 24 hour trip between Adelaide and Alice Springs in each direction weekly. Pictured is the narrow gauge 'Ghan' approaching Alice Springs, through Heavitree Gap behind a brace of NSU-class diesel electrics No. 57 and 58".--Notes on verso.
