Meeandah railway station is an abandoned station on the Pinkenba railway line in the suburb of Pinkenba, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is 8.7 kilometres (5.4 mi) from the Brisbane central business district and 13.4 kilometres (8.3 mi) from Central station by rail. It closed as a staffed station in 1930, reopened as an unattended gate in 1931, and was finally closed on 27 September 1993.
The name Meeandah comes from the English word "meander", after the twisting and turning route of the nearby Brisbane River.[1]
