History
Opened 1885

Previous names Nyanda Crossing

Nyanda railway station was located on the Beenleigh line in Queensland, Australia between Rocklea and Salisbury stations. It opened in 1885 as Nyanda Crossing and was positioned so one person could manage the station and attend to the Beaudesert Road level crossing.

Most platforms south of the Brisbane River were progressively lengthened in the late 1970s to accommodate SX sets and the new Electric Multiple Unit trains. The existing platform used up all the available space between Beaudesert Road and industrial sidings at the north end of the station and there was no room to extend it. As a result, the station closed in 1978 when the Merivale Bridge opened.[1]
