Services

Farina railway station, in the South Australian outback, was completed in 1882 when the narrow-gauge Central Australia Railway progressed towards Marree. In 1957, a new standard-gauge line, called the Marree railway line, was constructed in parallel with the narrow-gauge line, which was closed in 1981; traffic ceased on the standard-gauge line in 2019.
