The Peebinga railway line was a railway line in the South Australian Railways network. It opened on 18 December 1914, originating from a junction with the Barmera line at Karoonda. The line extended eastward through the Murray Mallee region, ultimately terminating at Peebinga, located just two kilometres from the Victorian state border.[1] The railway was officially closed on 7 December 1990.[2][3]
