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

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.
