Gladstone, city, eastern Queensland, eastern Australia, on Port Curtis, an inlet of the Coral Sea. Originally settled in 1847 as a colony by the New South Wales government, it was abandoned in 1848 but was resettled by squatters in 1853. It was named for the British chancellor of the Exchequer (later prime minister) William Ewart Gladstone and became a municipality in 1863. Source: www.britannica.com/place/Gladstone-Queensland

In modern times, the line going south from Cadiz is now leased to the Arizona and California which operates out of Parker, Arizona. The line goes south to Rice, California then east to Parker. Corrections/updates from others are welcome.
