Railway Workshops
An Initiative of Ipswich City Council
The North Ipswich Railway Workshops were the first railway
workshops in Queensland and were established in 1864
close to the Bremer River Railway Bridge. The Workshops
began moving to this site in 1885. They were an essential
part of Queensland's first railway and the development of
mass transport in Queensland.
