Park Road railway station is the junction station for the Gold Coast and Cleveland lines in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba. It is served by Beenleigh, Cleveland and Gold Coast line services. Immediately south of the station lies a triangle junction with the Cleveland and Fisherman Islands lines branching off.〔(Yeronga - Park Road ) SA Track & Signal〕 ==History== In September 1930, the standard gauge NSW North Coast line opened to the west of the station.〔"Brisbane Express First Train Leaves via North Coast Route" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 27 September 1930〕 On 12 November 1942, a wartime siding opened at Park Road, followed by a second on 28 February 1944. After falling out of use in 1945, the yard was reactivated in 1949. In its later years, it was primarily used by paper trains for Queensland Newspapers. It closed again in the early 1990s.〔"The Park Road shunt" ''Railway Digest'' January 1993 pages 16-17〕 As part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge to allow these services to be segregated from Beenleigh and Cleveland services.〔"Yeerongpilly - Salisbury Third Road" ''Railway Digest'' August 1996 page 11〕〔"Rails return to the Gold Coast" ''Railway Digest'' August 1996 page 19〕 In 2000, a project commenced to add a fourth track and platform face between the existing lines, as well as add a platform face to the dual gauge line.〔"Park Road Station Expansion" ''Railway Digest'' June 2000 page 12〕 Platform 4 was intended for use by Gold Coast trains but the curvature of the platform was deemed unsafe for commuter train usage. In preparation for sweeping changes across the City network network on 20 January 2014, the use of platform 4 at Park Road was trialled from 13 January, before opening for selected Gold Coast services on 20 January. 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「Park Road railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
