History The station opened in 1918 as part of the extension of the railway line to Samford and then extended to Dayboro in 1920. It was cut back to Ferny Grove in 1955, as part of a larger rationalisation by the Queensland Government of its railway lines. The line now terminates at Ferny Grove with bus services running to Samford during peak times.Kerr, J. 'Triumph of Narrow Gauge' Boolarong Publications 1990
