Moorooka railway station is located on the Beenleigh line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Moorooka. The station opened in 1887.
To the west of the station lies the NSW North Coast dual gauge line primarily used by Gold Coast, NSW TrainLink XPT and freight services, and the Clapham freight yard.
In 1996, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.
Moorooka passenger station is opposite the Clapham goods railway station.
Moorooka Station will close sometime in 2025 for a major accessibility upgrade as part of the Cross River Rail project. The upgrades include a third platform, new station buildings, an upgraded overpass with lifts to all platforms and the station entrance for the station to be fully accessible, and other facilities.
