Caboolture Railway Station
Caboolture is a railway station and terminus of the Caboolture Line and serves as a stop for Traveltrain services. It is part of the Queensland Rail City network.
The station is in Zone 8 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.
This station is the main rail/bus interchange for TransLink's Northern Region and is served by bus connections to the surrounding areas of Caboolture. It is also the southern terminus for the off-peak Nambour-Caboolture railbus, which operates in addition to the Nambour train service in the off-peak. An old spur to the north-west to Wamuran is now disused, as is an old turntable on the eastern side.
The station was opened in June 1889, as part of the extension of the North Coast Line from Petrie, which opened in March 1888. It was later reconstructed as part of the electrification of the rail network in 1986.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
