About Us
Overview
Welcome to the Toogoolawah Railway Museum that is one feature of the Cultural Precinct being developed for the town. The station stands beside the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and was the last operational station on the original Brisbane Valley Rail Line. It has an impressive history.
This station was built in Brisbane in 1882 as the Exhibition station on the new Sandgate rail line and remained there until 1904 when the station site was leased to Dalgety’s for the erection of a grain store. At the same time the Brisbane Valley branch rail line had reached Cressbrook Creek and the twenty two year old Exhibition Station was relocated here.
It was originally called 'Cressbrook Station' but had been renamed 'Toogoolawah" by the time the first station master (George Launder) arrived later in that year. Land was also sold from the Cressbrook estate around the Condensed Milk factory in that year and the settlement adopted the name of the railway station
