Orroroo silos

The town of Orroroo was once connected by rail to Peterborough and Quorn, and was served by a Class 1 station and a large Goods Shed. During 1962 concrete grain silos were built in the Yard. These provided the bulk of traffic until the railway was closed in 1987. Since then the grain is trucked from here to a rail head (eg at Gladstone). It then travels by train to one of the ports that take grain ships - Port Adelaide, Port Pirie or Wallaroo.
