Pomona railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the town of Pomona in the Shire of Noosa.
History
Pomona railway station opened in 1891 with the opening of the line from Cooran to Cooroy.[1]
The station today consists of one platform with a steel shelter. In 2009, the platform was extended with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.
The temporary platform was washed away, and had to be rebuilt, following flooding in 2012. The temporary platform remains in a flood-prone location. However, it is due to be replaced with a permanent platform by the end of 2016. Queensland Rail is proposing to close an existing cross-town pedestrian crossing over the North Coast Line linking to the station, forcing pedestrians to make a 400m detour.
Services
Pomona is serviced by two daily City network services in each direction.[4]
