The Canungra railway line was a branch railway in South East Queensland, Australia. It connected Logan Village on the Beaudesert line and Canungra. Canungra was the centre of regional timber production from the 1860s with a large sawmill completed in 1885. The private Laheys Tramway, carrying timber from nearby forests to Canungra, opened in 1900. By 1911 there 18 bullock teams moving sawn timber between Canungra and the railway at Logan Village. A railway from Logan Village to Canungra was first proposed in 1900 with a survey commissioned in 1908. Construction began in 1913 and the line opened on 2 July 1915.〔''The Canungra Branch'' Milne, Rod Australian Railway History, January 1993 pp12-19〕 Timber traffic started to decline from 1923 and most of the timber in the area had been cut by the 1940s. There was substantial traffic on the line during the Pacific War after the Jungle Warfare Training Centre opened at Canungra in November 1942. Traffic declined after World War II and the line eventually closed in 1955.〔 ==See also== *Rail transport in Queensland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canungra railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
