The Inglewood Railway Station, on the old Warwick to Dirranbandi line, whilst still insitu, is no longer in service.
Inglewood, a charming town in Queensland, Australia, has a historical connection to the railway.
The Thane to Inglewood section of the South Western railway line opened on 8 July 1907, with Inglewood being served by the Inglewood railway station. The station was originally called 'Pariagna' but the name was changed to Inglewood when the town's name changed. The next section from Inglewood to Goondiwindi was completed on 13 October 1908.
Nine years later Inglewood became a rail junction when the line to Texas was opened. It carried freight, including fuel to, and ore from, the Silverspur mine east of Texas. The Texas rail line was closed in 1994, due to lack of passengers and the usage of trucks to move freight. Local dairying was served by a branch factory of the Warwick Co-operative between 1940 and 1960.
Inglewood’s railway heritage continues to be an integral part of its identity, connecting the past with the present.
The abandoned building you are standing at is the old “Office of the Track Section Supervisor”
The cache is hidden close to, but not in the railway corridor at this location. There is no need to enter the rail corridor.
PLEASE BE AWARE that this railway line is still operational, and that you may encounter grain trains, and the occasional steam train.
