Doboy railway station was a former railway station on QR Citytrain suburban network in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia.[1] It was located between Murarrie and Hemmant stations on the Cleveland railway line.
Originally named Birt's Siding, changed in 1910 to Buruda[2](Burata), the Aboriginal word for forest oak,[3] it was renamed as Doboy railway station in 1929.[4] The station consisted of two short platforms and a pedestrian overbridge, and was predominantly used by workers at the nearby meatworks.[5]
Doboy railway station closed in 1993, after the closure of the meatworks in 1992.[5][6]
