Samford railway station was a railway station in Samford, City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. It was located to the west of Station Street within the present-day John Scott Park.[2]
History
The station opened in 1918 and was the temporary terminus of the extension of the railway line to Samford,[1] until further extensions reached Kobble Creek in 1919 and Dayboro in 1920.[3] The station remained in service for 37 years, until it was closed in 1955 following the line's closure beyond Ferny Grove.
