Brisbane Valley line
Wulkuraka - Yarraman
Progressively opened between 1884 and 1913

Good description of the line > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane_…

The line to Yarraman now forms the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. One of the best in our nation. I was fortunate to travel to Yarraman by rail on the second last train.
It was a marvellous example of a Queensland branch line.

There had been community advocacy for 30 years to get this line built, so quite a turnout.

Mount Edwards branch - was intended to form part of a via recta "straight route" between Brisbane and Sydney via break-of-gauge border town of Wallangarra.
Map 1939 nla.gov.au/nla.obj-232952…
Opened 1922 closed 1960. The connection to Maryvale was never built.
'The 25 km long line branched off the Dugandan line at the rural locality of Munbilla 38 km south of the city of Ipswich. The line then proceeded in a generally south-westerly direction to the locality of Mount Edwards near the village of Aratula.'
