Description: The Port Pirie railway station (now a museum of the National Trust of South Australia), 73-77 Ellen Street, Port Pirie. It was built by the former South Australian Railways in the Victorian Pavilion style in 1902, with most of the facade above the concourse being pressed sheet steel. Two tracks used to go down the middle of Ellen Street — one 1600 mm broad gauge, the other 1067 mm narrow gauge — and passengers would board trains at street level. Freight traffic, including ore and oil, also went along these tracks.
