In Western Australian the rail system is still narrow gauge and the South Australian system is broad gauge.
The Ghan train to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory went from narrow guage to standard guage in 1956 when it by passed Pichi Richi – a local preservation group still runs trains on the narrow guage section.
