Summary

Description
English: South Australian Railways triple-gauge turnout, Gladstone, Gladstone, South Australia. Narrow gauge in centre, standard gauge offset left, broad gauge offset right.

In 1970, the line from Port Pirie to Broken Hill was opened after several years' engineering work to convert it to standard gauge, resulting in all three mainline gauges used in Australia – 1435 mm standard gauge, 1600 mm broad gauge, and 1067 mm narrow gauge – meeting in the railway yards at Gladstone. In the late 1980s, the broad and narrow gauge lines were closed, leaving Gladstone as standard gauge only.
