Summary

Description
English: A dual-gauge railway track in Wallaroo (Yorke Peninsula, South Australia). The outer rail is 1600 mm (5 ft 3 in) broad gauge, the inner 1435 mm (4 ft 812 in) gauge. When this photo was taken, in March 2008, only the outer rail was continuous, because the line was occasionally used by a broad-gauge tourist train. The inner rail was missing at some spots (e.g. around switches), so the track could not be used by standard-gauge rolling stock. Note added later:  Yorke Peninsula Rail, the association which operated the tourist train, disbanded in 2009. Subsequently the track was lifted and the route was re-purposed as a rail trail.
