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:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
