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 know that some will have hard thoughts of me, when they hear their Christ named beside my Buddha, yet I am sure that I am willing they should love their Christ more than my Buddha, for the love is the main thing, and I like him too.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
