Hi all,

I am curious. I thought I knew all of the former stations/stops & even their former names...but upon visiting the Heritage House Museum at Yarraman yesterday, I came across a reference to, "Silverwater", which apparently was a wayward stop/siding north of Mt Hallen...can anybody provide me with any information with regards to this stop, as it's got intrigued! I believe, "Silverwater", was the name of the private property that the siding was near...

ABC radio taking many calls complaining this morning about Petrie ( now Kippa Ring ) trains no longer stopping at Toombul ( Caboolture trains already express ). Most of these residents complaining lived from Petrie inwards who have shopped or worked at Toombul Shoppingtown for years and now have to get off at Northgate or Eagle Junc. and change trains for a 2 or 1 station journey.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any photos of old Clarendon Station from along the Brisbane Valley Railway Line at all? I've tried Bonzle & Trove, to no avail, but maybe I'm not putting the correct key words in to the search bar?

While watching the Dawnie Express return through Oakey on Monday afternoon, a Sandisk 32GB Ultra SD card was found on the platform. Obviously it belongs to one of the train chasers as it consists of videos of trains. Maybe someone can shed light on its owner.

The Dawnie Express, named in honour of Olympic swimming gold medallist, Dawn Fraser passed through Oakey this morning en route to Charleville. The trip is raising money for Save the Bilby Fund of which Dawn is a patriot. She missed catching the steam train out of Brisbane yesterday so will be going out on tonights Westlander to catch it up at Roma for the final leg to Charleville.
It was the first steam train to cross over the new Oakey rail bridge since it was completed last October.
The loco was supposed to be 1079 but was 1089 and had diesel loco 1732 in tow.
