Yeerongpilly railway station is located on the Beenleigh line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Yeerongpilly. Immediately south-west of the station, the Corinda line branches off. To the west of the station lies the NSW North Coast dual gauge line primarily used by Gold Coast, NSW TrainLink XPT and freight services.〔(Clapham - Yeerongpilly ) SA Track & Signal〕 ==History== Yeerongpilly station opened in 1884 as Logan Junction with the opening of the railway to Loganlea. It was renamed South Coast Junction in 1885 and again to Yeerongpilly in 1893. It was the junction station for the Corinda line until passenger services ceased on the line in June 2011 and were replaced by Brisbane Transport's route 104.〔(Change to route 104 services ) TransLink〕 The design for the Queensland Tennis Centre included extending the footbridge over Fairfield Road, however when the centre was built it was not included.〔(Footbridge, what footbridge? ) ''Brisbane Times'' 7 January 2009〕 Construction eventually commenced in July 2010, with the new bridge opened on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.〔(First step for new Yeerongpilly footbridge ) TransLink 8 July 2010〕〔(Yeerongpilly footbridge opens for tennis fans ) TransLink 20 December 2010〕 With the opening of the NSW North Coast line to South Brisbane in 1930, the New South Wales Government Railways opened a depot to the south of the station.〔"Brisbane Express First Train Leaves via North Coast Route" ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 27 September 1930〕 This closed on 13 February 1997 with the turntable relocated to the new National Rail Acacia Ridge facility.〔"Standard Gauge Loco Facility Closes" ''Railway Digest'' April 1997 page 13〕〔"Acacia Ridge Locomotive Facilities" ''Railway Digest'' December 1996 page 18〕 In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line from South Brisbane was converted to dual gauge.〔"Rails return to the Gold Coast" ''Railway Digest'' August 1996 page 19〕 This was later extended to Salisbury.〔"Yeerongpilly - Salisbury Third Road" ''Railway Digest'' August 1996 page 11〕 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「Yeerongpilly railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
