Ownership of corridor.

The corridor is owned by Queensland Transport, and was subleased to Beaudesert Rail. A similar situation exists with QR. The QR network access route map shows the Beaudesert line as "private", [1], but they would not be the final authority. This media release from Beaudesert Shire Council refers to council discussions regarding obtaining a sublease from QDOT [2]Johnmc (talk) 19:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi John, thanks for clearing that up and providing a ref from Beaudesert Shire Council too. I used the QR network access diagrams too for my source, I thought that yellow tracks signifying a "private" line meant it was no longer owned by QR. The network diagram I downloaded to my hard drive also says "Beaudesert Rail - Private Railway (No QR interest beyond signal BT10)" (which would be around Bethania). Easy enough mistake to make! --TripleThree (talk) 13:55, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I goofed slightly. Corridors are *Leased* to QT, and they sublease them to the various operators. I guess the actual owner of the corridor would be The Crown (in the oldspeak). I guess nowadays it would just be the State of Queensland. Thanks for doing these articles, if I had time, I would do some on the lines in my area, but yeah... time...

Provision for railway station just north of Cable Camp Road?

At 27°46′15″S 153°06′25″E / 27.77071°S 153.10689°E / -27.77071; 153.10689 the land corridor reserved for the railway widens just as it does at other railway stations to accommodate platforms etc. Was there ever a railway station there? I know there was a large World War 2 American Army Camp in that area so maybe they had a railway station there? Kerry (talk) 22:08, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, Camp Cable had the Canungra railway line passing through it. The coords above are to the west of the camp. Kerry (talk) 22:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, it appears there were a number of other sites set aside for future stations (and this was one of them) as well as various sidings on the line above and beyond what is current covered in the article. More work to do! Kerry (talk) 22:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
