Evidently, this night we decided to take a run from Roma Street to Beenleigh station for some reason.
Glad I took photos of everything, as I sure as heck don't remember half of it. :-)

Remains of the once busy Newstead industrial branch in suburban Brisbane. At the time of taking these, I remember being glad they chose to retain the tracks as a reminder of the past.
However, research for a social media post lead me to find the two spots on Google Streetscape, and thus to the sad realisation that the surviving trackage all appears to be developed over.

Terminus of Millmerran (Millmerran branch line).
Opened 1911, after being extended from Pittsworth.
Services, which were mostly grain in the end, were suspended some time ago. It is believed the track is still in place.
