Long Gully railway station is located in Belair National Park, South Australia. It is about 26.7km by railway from Adelaide Railway Station. The original plan was for the siding to be named "Minnow". The layout of the passing siding is unusual as, being on an "S" in the main line, traffic in both directions defaulted to the sharper left side while crossing the points to enter the yard - this anomaly was removed during the Adelaide/Melbourne Standardisation Project when the passing siding was replaced by a single line.
Long Gully was a very useful station for hikers and bike riders, as the station was located within the national park.
The station was different from the others on the defunct Bridgewater line, as it consisted of a staffed ticket office/signal cabin, which closed in 1977 with the introduction of Centalised Traffic Control (CTC). There was a single platform on the northern part of the track which was converted from timber to prefabricated concrete in the early 1970s, it also had a small loading platform servicing the siding line.
The station was predominantly staffed by men, housed with their families, in one of three houses within the station yard boundaries.
Long Gully station was closed in 1987 along with the Bridgewater line. The ticket office and nearby houses were demolished shortly after but most of the platform remains in place.
Famous quotes containing the words long, railway and/or station:
“Dressed to die, the sensual strut begun,
With my red veins full of money,
In the final direction of the elementary town
I advance for as long as forever is.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
