Cooran railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the town of Cooran.

History

Cooran railway station opened on 10 June 1889 with the opening of the line from Gympie. It was the terminus of the line until it was extended south to Cooroy on 1 April 1891.[1]

The station today consists of one platform with a steel shelter. In 2009, the platform was extended at its southern end with scaffolding and plywood materials.[2] Initially intended as an interim arrangement until a permanent extension was built, the temporary platform remains.[3] Opposite the platform lies a passing loop.

Services

Cooran is serviced by two daily Citytrain services in each direction.[4]
