Today's historic photo of the day: Exactly 42 years ago today, an LVR tour #train from Gwabegar and Dubbo on its return to Sydney via Parkes passes through the station at Peak Hill, NSW, January 31 1983.
Peak Hill is 498km from Sydney on the cross-country goods-only Parkes to Narromine line. Regular passenger train services were withdrawn from this line and the station closed to passengers in 1974.

Whilst this railway line remains open today, and indeed has recently been upgraded as part of the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail project, Peak Hill station building no longer stands on its original site. It was re-located some years ago to the nearby Lindner Oval sporting ground to gain a new lease on life as an amenities block - complete with Peak Hill station nameboard.
