Location

Redbank railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Ipswich suburbs of Redbank and Collingwood Park.

The station features a pedestrian footbridge with stairs and elevators to both platforms, ticket office, bicycle enclosure, and a park and ride facility on each side of the station with 237 car spaces.[1][2]

Redbank station is beside the Redbank Railway Workshops, operated by Progress Rail, which repair and maintain diesel and electric locomotives and wagons at the facility.[3][4][5] Near the station used to be coal train wagon storage roads used for the Jondaryan, Macalister and Columboola coal mines, west of Toowoomba, however much of the storage roads and stabling yards have been removed to make way for the Redbank Motorway Estate, a logistics and manufacturing development.[6][7]

In May 2012, three stabling sidings were opened to the west of the station.[8][9]
