Route
The line is double track from Adelaide station to Midlunga station, then single for the final 3 km to Outer Harbor. The northern section of the line runs along the middle of the narrow Lefevre Peninsula with stations at regular intervals. The line is broad gauge (1600 mm), the same as the rest of the Adelaide network. The line between Port Adelaide Junction and Glanville was dual gauge until early December 2009. The standard gauge was removed during the temporary closure of the Outer Harbor line as the Port Adelaide Viaduct upgrade.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
