The North Coast railway line is a narrow gauge railway line in Queensland, Australia. It commences at Roma St station, Brisbane, and largely parallels the Queensland coast to Cairns in Far North Queensland. The line is electrified between Brisbane and Rockhampton. Along the way, the 1680 km railway passes through the numerous towns and cities of eastern Queensland including Nambour, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville. The line though the centre of Rockhampton runs down the middle of Denison Street. ==History== The North Coast Line (NCL) has one of the most interesting and complex histories of any railway in Queensland. The first section was opened in 1881, the final section in 1924, and the line was opened in over 60 sections during that period. It incorporates sections of lines built by local governments and subsequently taken over by QR, one isolated section was closed for 2 years following a financial crisis and another isolated section was initially built as a 610mm (2') gauge line. Progress was hampered by several financial setbacks, debate over competing routes and parliamentary approval to connect Cairns to Rockhampton and Brisbane was not given until 1910. Construction standards varied significantly depending upon the era and initial purpose of the section built. There have been 5 major and numerous minor deviations to improve the alignment of the original line, and 3 sections of it are duplicated.
