TheFisherman Islands railway line is an Australiandual gauge freight only line to thePort of Brisbane.

History

[edit]

In 1980,Queensland Rail built a freight-only line betweenCannon Hill andFisherman Islands.[1] It paralleled the existingCleveland line from Cannon Hill to Lytton Junction, east ofLindum, before continuing to Fisherman Islands on its own alignment.[2][3]

In 1992, theQueensland Government announced that construction would commence on an 11 kilometredual gauge rail link fromDutton Park to Cannon Hill, with the existing line from Cannon Hill toFisherman Islands to beconverted to dual gauge. This would connect thePort of Brisbane to theNSW North Coast line and the standard gauge network. Prior to its construction, freight between the Port of Brisbane andNew South Wales had to be eithertranshipped or wagonsbogie exchanged atAcacia Ridge.[2] This was funded under the Federal Government'sOne Nation Program.

Construction commenced in September 1993. To avoid congestion, agrade separated junction was built at Dutton Park, where the new line branched off from theNSW North Coast line to allow the line to operate without interfering withBeenleigh andCleveland line services.[2][4][5][6]

On 15 July 1996, the line opened from Dutton Park toMurarrie.[7] Narrow gauge workings commenced to Fisherman Islands in November 1996[8] with the first standard gauge train operating on 28 March 1997.[9]
