History

edit

Woodridge station opened in 1885, providing an outlet for sawn timber.[2] Graham's timber siding was opened in 1913, and in the next year another sawmiller subdivided land on the west side of the line and marketed it as the Woodridge estate.[2] Though the Railways Department called it 15 Mile Siding.[3] The siding was named Woodridge in January 1917,[3][2] when the platform was made accessible to the public.[3][4] As part of the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project, the station will receive level crossing removals.[5]
