A Quandong Festival prize with a very special railway connection...
Back in July, one of our volunteers captured a lovely moment at Quorn Railway Station when a family from Port Augusta joined us aboard the Pichi Richi Explorer.
Young Clancy had won first prize in the children’s colouring-in competition at the Quorn Quandong Festival in October 2025, with his prize including a family voucher to experience the Pichi Richi Railway.
His 11-year-old sister was also a winner, receiving one of our Pichi Richi Railway activity books.
They were both very excited to be travelling with us — but there was another wonderful connection to discover.
Their family’s association with the railway goes back generations.
The children's grandfather, Fred Jackson, volunteered at Pichi Richi Railway and spray-painted a number of locomotives, including T186, 933 or 934 and NB30.
What a lovely way for another generation of the family to create their own memories with Pichi Richi Railway. ❤️ Pichi Richi Railway was proud to support the annual Quorn Quandong Festival by providing a family Pichi Richi Explorer voucher as a prize for the children’s colouring-in competition.
This year’s Quorn Quandong Festival: 24–25 October 2026 - Click HERE for info Celebrating Food, Music, Art and Sustainability, the festival brings Quorn to life with quandong products, cooking demonstrations, art, cultural performances and activities highlighting sustainable farming and landcare.
Perhaps another young winner will be joining us aboard the Pichi Richi Explorer soon!
Photos shared with permission and thanks to our volunteer Vicki for capturing this special moment.

NATIONAL YOUTH VOLUNTEER WEEK 10-16 August 2026 | MEET JARROD
As we continue celebrating National Youth Volunteer Week, we’re recognising another of the young volunteers helping preserve the skills, knowledge and railway heritage of Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society.
National Youth Volunteer Week recognises young volunteers aged 12–25 years, with this year’s theme “Your Year to Lead” celebrating young people as leaders of today. 👏
Today we’re recognising Jarrod, our Steam Locomotive Superintendent. For Jarrod, volunteering with Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society is very much a family legacy. His connection began before he was even one year old through his family’s membership, and his first trip to Quorn to visit Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society was when he was just 11 weeks old!
Growing up surrounded by railway heritage has also influenced Jarrod professionally. Today he is a qualified Fitter and Turner, bringing those skills to his passion for steam locomotive maintenance. Jarrod says working on locomotive maintenance was always his intention – particularly having the opportunity to use and preserve traditional skills that are becoming increasingly rare. When asked who taught him, Jarrod credits his dad, grandfather and people involved in the railway industry and Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society.
That knowledge extends well beyond our own railway. People involved in heritage locomotive restoration share information across Australia and overseas, with many of the principles common between locomotives. Original engineering drawings from numerous companies continue to be an important resource – including those connected with renowned South Australian engineer James Martin and his Gawler foundry.
And what does Jarrod enjoy most about volunteering?
“The ability to repair and see the stock and locomotives going out of the workshop as an operating engine.”
From an 11-week-old visitor to Steam Locomotive Superintendent, Jarrod’s story is a wonderful example of how volunteering can preserve skills across generations, shape careers and help keep our railway heritage operating for the future. 🚂
Thank you, Jarrod, for the skills, knowledge and commitment you bring to Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society.

NATIONAL YOUTH VOLUNTEER WEEK 10-16 August 2026 | MEET BRENNAN
As we continue celebrating National Youth Volunteer Week, we’re recognising another of the young volunteers helping keep the history and spirit of Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society alive. National Youth Volunteer Week recognises young volunteers aged 12–25 years, with this year’s theme “Your Year to Lead” celebrating young people as leaders of today.
Today, meet Brennan, a Year 9 student from Quorn who has been volunteering with us since 2024.
Brennan’s connection with the railway started well before he became a volunteer. His grandmother would take him on the train, and together they would walk down to the locomotive shed to watch what was happening. That early interest grew into a real love of the railway — as Brennan simply puts it, he loves being on the train!
Now trained as a Car Captain, Brennan enjoys talking with passengers, finding out where they have travelled from and sharing his knowledge of Quorn, the Flinders Ranges, South Australia and the railway.
Recently, Brennan also travelled to Adelaide with his mum, Amy, to help at our Pichi Richi Railway stand at the @Model Railway Exhibition. Looking very smart in his full Pichi Richi Railway uniform, he spoke with visitors, answered questions and was a great help throughout the event. He even had some mates there exhibiting their own model railway displays!
And where does he hope his volunteering journey will take him? 🔥 Brennan has a passion to one day become a steam locomotive driver.
We asked Brennan whether he would recommend volunteering to other young people his age.
His answer? “Well and truly.”
Thank you, Brennan, for your enthusiasm, your willingness to learn and everything you are already contributing to Pichi Richi Railway.
We look forward to seeing where your railway journey takes you! 🚂👏

Have you ever seen horses travelling on a heritage train? 🚂
Take a look through some wonderful photos on our socials (facebook and instagram) and you'll discover one of Quorn's most unique traditions – horses travelling aboard their own specially designed carriage on the historic Pichi Richi Railway before riders set off on an unforgettable trail ride through our spectacular countryside. The smiles say it all. For local horse enthusiast Jenni, it all began with one simple question...
"Would anyone like to ride with their horses on a train and trail ride back to Quorn?"
While horse train rides had been enjoyed by riding groups many years ago, they hadn't taken place since 2008.
Having experienced them herself and remembering just how special they were, Jenni felt it was time to bring the tradition back.
In 2022, she spoke with friends at Pichi Richi Railway, gathered together a small group of experienced riders, and with the generous support of local property owners, organised the first ride back through the breathtaking country surrounding Quorn.
The response was overwhelming. Around 12–15 riders shared a day filled with friendship, stunning scenery and the unforgettable experience of seeing their horses comfortably travelling aboard the heritage train. Looking through these photos, you can see the excitement on everyone's faces and why this experience has become so memorable.
The success of that first ride inspired another in 2024, with even more like-minded riders enjoying a different trail back to Quorn, creating new friendships and lifelong memories along the way. Now, in 2026, the tradition continues.
For Jenni, it's about far more than the ride itself. Riders spend time in Quorn enjoying our cafés, pubs and local businesses before the grand finale of loading their horses onto the train. It's a sight that fascinates visitors, with many stopping to watch and photograph this remarkable experience.
"I don't think there's anywhere else quite like Quorn where we're fortunate enough to enjoy an experience like this," says Jenni.
A heartfelt thank you to Jenni for her passion, vision and dedication in bringing this wonderful tradition back to life, and to the local landholders and everyone involved in making it such a memorable experience.
👀 Keep an eye on our website and social pages. Another horse train adventure is planned for later this year, and we'll be sharing another story about this unique experience in the coming months. You won't want to miss it! "

Sometimes the most treasured pieces of railway history arrive in unexpected ways.
During the recent Caravan, Camping & Outdoor Sale, we had a wonderful conversation with a visitor to our stand about South Australia's railway history. He later contacted us and kindly shared a memoir written by his late mother, Mrs C. M. Archer, recalling her childhood in Terowie during 1925.
Mrs Archer was just ten years old when her father, a Supervising Engineer with Thompson & Co. of Castlemaine, was sent to Terowie to oversee the assembly of the new NM class locomotives for the Commonwealth Railways. Through her eyes, we experience life in Terowie nearly 100 years ago—from staying at the Royal Hotel and attending the local school to witnessing one of Australia's most important railway towns during the break-of-gauge era.
We sincerely thank Mrs Archer's family for allowing us to share these remarkable memories with the wider community. We hope you enjoy reading them.
A personal memoir by Mrs C. M. Archer
"My Time in Terowie, Early in 1925 my Fathers employer Thompson and Co. of Castlemaine Victoria , our home town, sent him, as Supervising Engineer, to Terowie in S.A. where a big gantry (right) had been built to assemble 22 NM class locomotives for Commonwealth Railways. Terowie was the break of gauge for the Transcontinental line where passengers travelling between Perth and Sydney changed trains to complete the journey.
My mother and I went over in August and stayed for 5 months at the Royal Hotel. It was unusual for a 10-year-old girl to become boarder, and the proprietor Mrs Hayes and her 2 spinster daughters made great fuss of me. I attended the Terowie Public School (below right) and enjoyed yet another teaching experience. My father and Mr. C. Wright became friends, and Mum used to walk up to the school on most afternoons and enjoyed a cup of tea and a chat with Mrs Wright.
There were 3 children in the family, and Beryl 9, and I became good friends, and explored the flat dry country where we collected some interesting stones – garnets, low grade rubies, crystals and other samples. Dad had a tray made for me, which I kept under the bed with simple labels attached. In fact, the Commissioner of Railways, on one of his progress visits saw my collection, and on his next visit, whether from Perth or Adelaide, I’m not sure, brought a more sophisticated lot of stones and minerals to add to my display.
Terowie was hot, dry, dusty in December, so Mum and I returned to Castlemaine whilst Dad remained in S.A. for another 4 months.
Notes on the Commonwealth Railways NM Class Locomotives.
The NM class was a class of 22 narrow-gauge 4-8-0 steam locomotives built by Thompson & Co., Castlemaine, Victoria between 1925 and 1927 for the Commonwealth Railways.
They were designed along the lines of the Queensland Railways C17 class, but with larger tenders and vacuum brakes.
Purpose and Service The NM class was introduced to serve the Central Australia Railway (1,067 mm gauge) between Port Augusta, South Australia, and Alice Springs, a remote, arid route with challenging gradients, ie the Pichi Richi Pass.
They hauled both freight and passenger services, including the famous Ghan through the Pichi Richi Pass.
The locomotives were well-suited to the line’s demands, with a tractive effort of about 19,200 lbf (85 kN).
During the 1949 Australian coal strike, 18 were temporarily converted to burn oil.
Technical Specifications.
Wheel arrangement: 4-8-0 Gauge: 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in)
Weight:~82 t
Boiler pressure: 160 psi (11 bar)
Cylinders: 17 in × 22 in (430 × 560 mm) Grate area: 18.5 ft² (1.7 m²)
Coal capacity:~6.5 t
Water capacity: ~13,600 L Operational History
First delivery: June 1925 Operators: Commonwealth Railways (NM15–NM28, NM31 NM38)
Withdrawal: 1954–1956, replaced by NSU-class diesel-electrics.
Notable use: NM34 was the last serviceable NM, making a ceremonial run in 1967. Preservation Two NM class locomotives survive:
NM25– Restored to operational condition by the Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society, now hauling heritage “Old Ghan” trains. NM34– Preserved in static display at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide. Legacy The NM class remains a symbol of Australian narrow-gauge heritage, representing a period when steam power was vital for remote, arid rail lines. Their design was a pragmatic choice, adapting a proven state railway model to the unique demands of the Central Australia Railway Reproduced from my Mother’s notes by her son Warwick Archer, Brighton SA " .
We extend our sincere thanks to Mrs C. M. Archer's family for preserving and sharing these memories. If you have family stories, photographs or railway memories relating to Pichi Richi Railway, Terowie, Quorn or the former Commonwealth Railways, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch—we're always keen to help preserve South Australia's rich railway heritage for future generations.
