History

Toowoomba railway station represents an important site in the study of the railway network of Queensland. As the focal point of one of the major railway routes in Queensland the Toowoomba station has reflected the growth and decline of railway passenger traffic in Queensland. Conceived originally as an imposing two-storeyed structure the Toowoomba station was designed by Sir Charles Fox in England in mid-1866. As designed the building was to be

in England and shipped to Queensland. It was anticipated that this building would act as the administrative centre for the railways centred on Toowoomba. After the collapse of the Agra Bank in 1866, this contract was cancelled and a replacement structure erected instead. This was of a similar design to Laidley railway station. The building rapidly outgrew its usefulness and in 1871 the decision was taken to construct a new station. Delays occurred, but by March 1873, R. Godsall of Toowoomba, was awarded the contract. This building designed by FDG Stanley, the Queensland Colonial Architect, was eventually handed over on 26 October 1874. As designed by Stanley and built, it was the first masonry station building to be erected in the Queensland country area. The original station design featured a refreshment-dining room area but by the turn of the century it was apparent that larger facilities would be required. Construction of a new Railway Refreshment Room Wing began in 1901, and was completed in 1902. Two major extensions were added on to these facilities; the Tea Room in 1915 and two extensions in the Dining Room area in 1920 and 1926. A further addition was made to catering facilities , with the provision of a kiosk. This is of interest as in 1930 the uniform gauge railway link had been opened from Kyogle to

effectively by passing Toowoomba as the interstate link. Extensions have been made progressively to station canopies and platforms as well within the station block itself. In 1906 the platform was extended towards Russell Street, and canopies followed this extension in 1911.During this period, a wrought iron overbridge was provided for pedestrian access in 1905 at the cost of £4,000. Two subsequent extensions followed in 1937 and 1949. In 1985 the overbridge was relocated to a sports ground near

. The station outbuildings form as important a part of the history of this station as passengers' amenities. In the period of 1908-1915 timber out buildings were provided South toward Russell St. These included parcels rooms as well as luggage rooms. Accommodation for guards and porters were provided in two smaller buildings. Of these extensions only the Guards and Porters buildings remain. Whilst of a standard design they reflect on the conditions worked under by Departmental workers. A magnificent wooden Roll of Honour board at the north end of the station pays tribute to the role of Toowoomba railway workers in the armed services in World War I. The roll of honour was crafted at the North Ipswich railway workshops to a design by

Part of the present assistant station-masters office comprises the Toowoomba B signal cabin, one of two in the Toowoomba yard. It was installed during the 1950s to replace the original tower cabin B. Although now disconnected (May 1993) the interior of this cabin illustrates older methods of safeworking and train control now superseded by automatic signalling.

The Westinghouse brake examination pit and shed, possibly constructed is also located in the outer areas of the yard. The brake inspection pit appears to be constructed of local bricks. This is unusual as most surviving locomotive/carriage inspection pits tend to be of concrete construction. Of particular significance is the checkboard placed on wall of interior of this shed, listing passenger car brake examinations and overhaul dates. Most vehicles listed have now been withdrawn or disposed of as railway items. Also associated with signalling and safeworking in the Toowoomba yard is the A signal cabin, taken out of use mid-1993. This cabin possibly dates from the 1920s. The cabin interior is still intact, and includes signal levers, safeworking instruments and Toowoomba yard diagram. Associated with this structure are the now dismantled semaphore signals from the signal gantry. The Toowoomba Goods Shed dates from 1896, although a smaller goods shed was constructed with the 1867 structure.

The artefacts and structures listed above all form an important role in providing an overview of the working environment not only of the station, but also of the railway yards themselves. They are significant because they add to the understanding of both the station as a separate entity, and as a fully operational working railway environment. In 2017, the railway refreshment rooms have been refurbished and now operate as the Inbound Toowoomba brasserie.

The Railway Refreshment Room wing

The Railway Refreshment Room wing (1902) is a two storeyed rendered masonry L-shaped building with a single-storeyed addition to the north (1915 tearoom), and hipped corrugated roofs which rise above those of the Station Building. It contains the Railway Refreshment Room on the ground floor (which is still in operation), and officers on the upper floor. A steel and timber framed pavilion attached to the north of the dining room wing houses a fine timber Honour Roll. The building has rusticated piers at the corners, arched openings with profiled surrounds, expressed piers with decorative capitals and circular motifs at ground floor level, and windows with flat heads and keystones to the upper storeys. The Railway Refreshment Room is an impressive and generously proportioned space containing timber serveries at both ends, and round timber tables and timber chairs. The walls are decorated with large black and white photographs of local beauty spots, and the tables are set with monogrammed silverware and
