From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northfield railway line is a defunct railway in northern Adelaide which was used mainly for industrial purposes and Cattle trains. The line opened in 1857 and branched off the Gawler just north of Dry Creek. The line went east from the Gawler line and served three stations: Cavan, Pooraka, and Northfield. The STA decided that passenger services on the line was uneconomic and patron numbers were low. The last passenger train was on 24 July 1987. However Cattle trains still used some of the line up to Cavan station until 1995. The stations were mostly demolished and the track ripped up.
