Brisbane’s “Almost Abandoned” Pinkenba Railway Line

In this video, I ride the full length of the Pinkenba railway line beyond Doomben railway station, exploring one of Brisbane’s most forgotten rail corridors. While passenger trains stop at Doomben today, the line once continued all the way to Pinkenba—serving ports, industry, and small stations that have now been abandoned for decades. Along the way, I visit the sites of former stations including Whinstanes, Eagle Farm, Bunour, Meeandah, and Pinkenba railway station, uncovering what remains of platforms, rail infrastructure, and the history behind them. I also explore Myrtletown, a small and little-known riverside locality within Pinkenba, where a handful of homes still remain surrounded by heavy industry. Despite being closed to passengers since 1993, the line still exists today—used occasionally for freight and running quietly through Pinkenba’s industrial landscape. 📍 What you’ll see in this video: The current terminus at Doomben The hidden remains of closed stations Abandoned platforms at Bunour and Meeandah The site of the old Pinkenba station A ride through Myrtletown, one of Brisbane’s smallest communities Industrial rail lines and freight corridors Historic sites like the Pinkenba School and RAN Station 9 A ride through Brisbane’s least-known suburb 🧭 Why this line is interesting The Pinkenba line is a rare example of a railway that’s not fully abandoned—but no longer used the way it once was. It offers a unique glimpse into Brisbane’s industrial past, from the days of steam trains and river ports to today’s quiet freight operations. 🚴 About this video This ride is part of a series exploring Brisbane’s railway history by bike—visiting old station sites and uncovering the stories behind them. ⚠️ Safety Notice This video was filmed for educational and documentary purposes only.
