@DannMallet @railmaps Cleveland Central 1960. This was the first Cleveland station.
Was renamed West Cleveland when the second Cleveland station was opened further out. Subsequently renamed Cleveland Central. Hey it's Queensland .. 🤠

Just on closure ..

@DannMallet @railmaps It was originally a terminal station. Hence the engine sheds.
Grouse photograph ..

@DannMallet @railmaps This is dated 1955. So actually the second Cleveland station.
Evans Cars! Quintessential QGR.

@DannMallet @railmaps @slqld This is Raby Bay station. There is some conflict in the digital libraries re date. I think it is c. 1930. (some sources suggest it is later). This is the general location of the present Cleveland station (#3 in effect).

Question is: which Cleveland Station?
Not dated, but I suspect this was the original Cleveland station ( #1) based on the dress of the gents.

@DannMallet @railmaps @slqld The original Cleveland station in 1890. This is Cleveland #1 (later Cleveland Central). The photograph of the gents earlier in this thread is at this station. Perfect fit. Yes!!
