Named Services
On inauguration, the passenger service was known as the Trans-Australian Express. Towards the end of its life as a passenger service between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta it was usually known as the Trans-Australian. It was replaced by the service known as the Indian Pacific.
From the start of construction until 1996 the Tea and Sugar Train carried vital supplies to the isolated work sites and towns along the route.

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or services:
“I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
