Today's historic #photo of the day: 33 years ago today, we see the unusual Dutch gabled style #railway station building at Quorn, SA, August 28 1991.

Quorn, near the Flinders Ranges in the mid north of South Australia, is a small town that holds a very special place in Australian railway history.
The railway first came to Quorn in 1879 when South Australian Railways' 1067mm narrow gauge line from Port Augusta reached town.

Drove through Quorn two weeks ago. This is the view from the street side of the station - with a different gable.
