Redbank-Bundamba Loop Line and The Swanbank Extension

rdf:langString Redbank-Bundamba Loop Line and The Swanbank Extension

rdf:langString The Redbank-Bundamba Loop Line was a branch line off the Main Line railway near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built to convey coal from the Bundamba and Redbank areas of the Ipswich coalfields. The Redbank-Bundamba Loop Line ran generally south-west from Redbank station to a point near Bundamba Creek called Box Flat Junction and from that point generally north along Bundamba Creek to Bundamba station. The Swanbank Extension ran generally south-easterly from Box Flat Junction to the end of its extension. After the closure of the Redbank - Box Flat Junction section due to the closure of the nearby coal mines, this line remained to convey coal to the Swanbank Power Station.
