Visiting Operators
PRRPS has hosted two other heritage railway operators on two different occasions.
The first occasion was when "Steamtown" ran a train to Quorn over the weekend of 17 and 18 of October 1981. This was the last steam hauled train and last passenger train to travel between Peterborough and Quorn. Although the Quorn station yard and line to Peterborough was still under the control of Australian National at this time, the Steamtown trip became the last steam-hauled train and last passenger train to travel the entire Peterborough to Quorn railway line. Steamtown's ex WAGR Pmr720 was the only Pacific type steam locomotive to ever visit Quorn.
The Australian Society of Section Car Operators, Inc. negotiated an access agreement with PRRPS and subsequently its members used the railway between Quorn and Stirling North to operate their section cars on the weekend of 22 and 23 March 2003.
