Maryborough railway station was located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It served the city of Maryborough. ==History== Maryborough station opened in 1878, when an eight kilometre branch into Maryborough was built as part of the North Coast line. It was built as a terminal station. Beyond the station, the line continued to service the Walkers (now Downer Rail) railway workshops and Mary River Wharf. An air raid shelter was built into the station during World War II for protection of the staff in case an air raid occurred.〔(Maryborough Railway Station ) Tourism Queensland〕 In 1924, a new station was built on the North Coast line at Baddow, that was used by through services. Terminating services continued to use Maryborough station. In 1989, a new seven kilometre alignment of the North Coast line was built as part of the electrification of the line. This included a new Maryborough West station, replacing both Maryborough and Baddow stations.〔(Hansard ) Queensland Parliament 27 February 1986〕〔"The Maryborough Shunt" ''Railway Digest'' November 2013 pages 40-43〕 The station consists of one island platform and an extensive yard. Although the station and yard have been decommissioned, the branch line remains in use to service the Downer Rail workshops. The building fell into a state of disrepair, but was restored in the early 2000s. It is today open as a Queensland Rail booking office. 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「Maryborough railway station, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
