[edit] History

For more details on this topic, see Rail transport in Queensland.

The Doomben railway line, running through Hendra station, was electrified in 1988.[1]

All passenger services on the line were suspended on 27 September 1993 by the Goss Labor Party state government rationalisation of the rail network throughout Queensland, with the suspending or closing of unprofitable and under-utilised rail lines. On 27 January 1998, the line was re-opened to passenger services under a Borbidge National Party government, but only operating as far as Doomben.[2]
