Snowtown railway station was located at the junction of the Adelaide-Port Augusta railway line and the Kadina-Brinkworth railway line in the town of Snowtown, South Australia.
Snowtown railway station opened on 1 October 1879 with the opening of the narrow gauge railway line between Kadina and Snowtown, branching off from the Balaklava-Moonta line. It was extended to Brinkworth on 2 July 1894 where it joined the Hamley Bridge-Gladstone line.[1] [2] The broad gauge railway line from Long Plains reached it in 1923. The line was later extended to Port Pirie in 1937. [3] The Kadina-Brinkworth line was gauge converted to broad gauge on 1 August 1927. [4] In 1982, the Adelaide-Port Augusta line was gauge converted to standard gauge along with the Kadina-Brinkworth line to dual gauge.[5] [4]
