Route
The line is double track from Adelaide station to Midlunga station, then single for the final 3 km to Outer Harbor. The northern section of the line runs along the middle of the narrow Lefevre Peninsula with stations at regular intervals. The line is broad gauge (1600 mm), the same as the rest of the Adelaide network. The line between Port Adelaide Junction and Glanville was dual gauge until early December 2009. The standard gauge was removed during the temporary closure of the Outer Harbor line as the Port Adelaide Viaduct upgrade.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
