Geocache Description:

Injune Railway Station was in operation from 1920 to 1967. The train is a C17 Class locomotive. The little station house was sold to a nearby piggery when the railway closed down. In 2011 the building was moved to its present site. 

 

Please bring your own pen. 

 


A reminder of Queensland’s worst rail disaster can be seen at Injune near the site of the old railway station. On 5 May 1947, C17 class locomotive 824 left the rails near Camp Mountain on the Dayboro line claiming the lives of 16 people and 38 injured. The Commonwealth Department of Trade & Customs Recreation and Social Club had chartered the train for a picnic at Closeburn. Negotiating a sharp curve at excessive speed caused the tragedy. The locomotive was repaired and continued in service until May 1967 when it was transferred to Injune along the recently closed line.

Cache is a small container with room for log. There are some extagz for first to find. Cache is maintained by a nearby family.
