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:
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
