Queensland Railway Plans & Proposed Line Reports

Over Queensland Rail's 160 year history a multitude of plans have been drafted for the construction of railway lines throughout the State. Not all have been presented to Parliament as an official Parliamentary Plan and Section.  Of those presented, many failed to pass. 

This site hosts an array of plans, the vast majority held in the Queensland State Archives (QSA). Most have been digitised for or by All Stations to Cleveland and appear online for the first time. QSA's attribution appears below each image on this page.

 

Plans or reports with a "Download PDF" button link directly to the Queensland Parliamentary website.

Those with a "View PDF" button link directly from this site to a new tab.
