The Doomben railway line is a railway line in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is the part of the Pinkenba railway line that still operates a regular passenger service. Doomben, or dumben, is the Indigenous Yuggera name for a tree fern which was prolific in the area.[1] The railway line branches from the North Coast line at Eagle Junction, extending 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the industrial suburb of Pinkenba, situated on the northern bank at the mouth of the Brisbane River. It is part of the Queensland Rail Citytrain network.
