Chelmer railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Chelmer.

History

The original station opened north of its current location in 1876 as Oxley's Point. In 1888, the station was renamed Riverton.[1] A siding was built at the current Chelmer station location in 1881, which was later converted into the current Chelmer railway station in 1889. Riverton was closed that same year.[2]

The line through Chelmer was duplicated in June 1886. The station was rebuilt in 1959 as part of the quadruplication of the line.[3]

Services

Chelmer is served by Citytrain network services operating from Nambour, Caboolture, Kippa-Ring and Bowen Hills to Springfield Central, Ipswich and Rosewood.[4][5]
