History
There have been three railways stations called Bowen Hills. The first from 1882 to 1889 was near Campbell Street. In 1890 a new station opened at the south end of the Abbotsford Road tunnel.
Due to insufficient room to extend the platforms, the second Bowen Hills station was closed in 1971. A new Bowen Hills station opened on the current site at the north end of the tunnel in 1973.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
