History
Port Pirie Junction station opened on 23 July 1937 when the Commonwealth Railways standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway was extended south from Port Augusta, and the South Australian Railways line broad gauge north from Redhill to a new break of gauge station in the Port Pirie suburb of Solomontown.[1][2][3]
On 12 November 1967, it was replaced by Port Pirie (Mary Elie Street) station and later demolished.

gollark: That sounds aesthetically horrible.
gollark: I'm trying to design a nice-looking AE2 controller room, any ideas?
