Location

Petrie is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Caboolture, Redcliffe Peninsula and Sunshine Coast lines. It opened in 1888 as North Pine and serves the Moreton Bay suburb of Petrie. It is a ground level station, featuring two island platforms with two faces each and one side platform.

The station was renamed in July 1911 following the death of local pioneer Thomas Petrie.[2][3]

As part of the Redcliffe Peninsula line, the station was expanded with a new island platform built east of the existing platforms.[4][5] It opened along with the rest of the line on 4 October 2016.[6] As part of the project, a third track was added south of the station to Lawnton.[7] North of the station, the Redcliffe Peninsula line branches off.

Services

Petrie is served by all City network services from Gympie North, Nambour, Caboolture & Kippa-Ring to Brisbane, many continuing to Ipswich, Rosewood and Springfield Central.[8][9][10]
