With financial guarantees provided by the Windsor Shire Council and the Enoggera Divisional Board, the Queensland Railways built a branch line from Mayne railway station (Bowen Hills) to Newmarket railway station to service the cattle yards and beyond to Enoggera railway station for suburban passenger services. This line opened on 5 February 1899. With the financial assistance of the Australian Defence Department, the line was extended to Rifle Range railway station (now called Gaythorne railway station) on 16 February 1916.

Rolling stock EMU - The Electric multiple unit (EMU) is a class of electric multiple units manufactured by Walkers, Maryborough for Queensland Rail between 1979 and 1986. They were the first EMUs in Queensland and some remain in service on the Queensland Rail City network. SMU 200 - The SMU200 series were introduced in 1994 due to a rollingstock shortage after an increase in demand. They were the first new trains since 1989 SMU 220 - The SMU220 series were introduced into service in August 1999 SMU 260 - In 2005, eight SMU260 class sets were ordered from Downer EDI Rail, Maryborough to cater for increased demand.

Yes and for the EMU they're ordered for the electrification of the line in 1979 therefore 7 years younger than Bakerloo Line 1972 stock. Oldest electric multiple unit in the game
I think this route really hits the rail on the head for a good length line. The rolling hills that you have to traverse make it interesting too! Added to the list of Australian proposal threads found here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/australian-proposal-suggestion-master-list.41526/
