Friends Of the North Australian Railway at Adelaide River

 

border
The Friends of the North Australian Railway at Adelaide River was formed in 2001 to preserve part of the alignment   of the  former narrow gauge  North Australian Railway  between Adelaide River and Snake Creek. The Railway hopes to ultimately operate a heritage train to that destination, a distance of two miles.
Adelaide River Township is located  on the main north south road, the Stuart Highway and is 72 miles ( 112 km ) south of Darwin. The location of the railway's headquarters is in the historic railway precinct at Adelaide River where the society has been restoring the original buildings and infrastructure. The new standard gauge railway line to Darwin adjoins the  historic narrow gauge line and at one stage it was proposed to utilise that portion of the narrow gauge alignment for the modern railway. However it was possible to re-arrange the layout to save  some of the original railway yard layout and much work is going on to restore the ambience of the historic precinct.
