Freight
Dry Creek is at the eastern end of the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide railway line, with a triangle junction allowing trains from the north and south to head towards the branch line.
To the west of the station is a major freight terminal and marshalling yard. A bogie exchange facility was located here between 1980 and 1995.
The former Northfield railway line headed east from Dry Creek, which has since closed.

Famous quotes containing the word freight:
“People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
“These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
