The Corinda-Yeerongpilly line (also known as Tennyson line) is a railway line in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. It connects the Beenleigh and Ipswich Lines for freight trains, but no longer a passenger service. During times of disruption in the inner south of Brisbane, certain services could be maintained by running through this line. For example, if there was a disruption at South Brisbane, Gold Coast services could be maintained by travelling along the line via the Ipswich line to Corinda, then via Tennyson to Yeerongpilly, and then south as per normal along the Beenleigh/Gold Coast line. The line is a major freight corridor, being the main connection between western Queensland freight lines, the Port of Brisbane and the marshalling yards at Moolabin, Clapham and Acacia Ridge. Passenger services on the line ceased in June 2011. ==History== The line was opened in 1884 as part of a line connecting the Ipswich line to the Brisbane River wharves at Stanley St, South Brisbane to provide a connection for coal mines exporting and/or refueling ships at the port.〔Kerr, J. 'Triumph of Narrow Gauge' Boolarong Publications 1990〕 When the Beenleigh line was built south from Yeerongpilly, that became the mainline and the line to Corinda became the connecting link. The line was duplicated in 1916, and electrified in 1982. 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「Corinda-Yeerongpilly railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
