Chelmer is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Ipswich/Rosewood and Springfield lines. It opened in 1881 and serves the Brisbane suburb of Chelmer. It is a ground level station, featuring two island platforms with two faces each.
History The original station opened north of its current location in 1876 as Oxley's Point. In 1888, the station was renamed Riverton. A siding was built at the current Chelmer station location in 1881, which was later converted into the current Chelmer railway station in 1889. Riverton was closed that same year.Chelmer Centre for the Government of Queensland
