In 1910 the Queensland government adopted a significant plan to build a railway on the Queensland section of the alignment proposed from Bourke in western NSW, to Darwin in the NT, known as the 'Great Western Railway'. To connect to that alignment, construction began in 1911 from Westgate (21 km south of Charleville) in a westerly direction.
Divisions were later formed in other states, most of which established a railway museum: ACT – Canberra Railway Museum, Kingston; Queensland – Rosewood Railway Museum [3] South Australia – operated the Mile End Railway Museum from 1964 to 1988, when the exhibits were moved to Port Adelaide, becoming, in 1999, the National Railway Museum.

Queensland's first railway line, opened on 31 July 1865, ran between Ipswich and Grandchester, approximately 35 km (21.7 mi) [a] to the town's west. To support the new line, which became known as the South and West Railway, construction of two workshop buildings at Ipswich commenced in 1863, about a kilometre (0.62 miles) south of the present facility on the northern banks of the Bremer River.
Nineteenth century Queensland development was further influenced by the pattern of building railway lines west into the hinterlands from the major ports, first Main Line railway from near Brisbane in 1865, then the Central Western railway line from Rockhampton in 1867 and the Great Northern Railway from Townsville in 1880.
