The Wooloongabba Branch railway line was a branch line off the South Coast railway line in the inner southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. It opened on 2 June 1884 to serve the wharves and industries along the Brisbane River at Woolloongabba and South Brisbane.〔''The Wooloongabba Branch'' Milne, Rod Australian Railway History, August 2004 pp283-301〕 Queensland Railways always referred to the line as the Wooloongabba Branch (with one 'l'), despite the official spelling of the suburb it ran through being Woolloongabba (spelt with two 'l's).〔 ==Approval and construction== A railway from the Western line to Woolloongabba was first proposed in 1878. A railway from South Brisbane Junction (now Corinda station) to Stanley Street was approved by the Queensland Parliament on 17 September 1881. The first sod was turned in October 1882. The line was built to provide a connection for Ipswich area coal mines exporting from and/or refueling ships at the wharves.〔Kerr, J. 'Triumph of Narrow Gauge' Boolarong Publications 1990〕 The South Brisbane Wharf Branch extension was proposed in 1889 and costings were made in 1892.
