Pine Chip Factory
editWoodchip trains to Gladstone originate at a balloon loop at the Canterwood Pine Chip facility just east of the station site, and joins the North Coast Line just north of the station site. The factory was built in 1994, as was the railway station.[1] However, it became clear early on that there was very little patronage to the pine chip factory so the station was shut down and dismantled.
