Moorooka railway station is located on the Beenleigh line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Moorooka. The station opened in 1887.[1]
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, and the Clapham freight yard.[2][3]
In 1996, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.[4]
Moorooka passenger station is opposite the Clapham goods railway station.
Moorooka Station will close sometime in 2025 for a major accessibility upgrade as part of the Cross River Rail project. The upgrades include a third platform, new station buildings, an upgraded overpass with lifts to all platforms and the station entrance for the station to be fully accessible, and other facilities.[5]
