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.

The BVL had regular passenger, goods and mixed train services. From 1928 rail motor services as well. It was a busy branch line.
