This line proposed 1-in-30 (~3.3%) grades, the steepest on the QGR system at the time, as well as requiring a bridge over the Logan River.

In order for Beaudesert Rail to commence steam services on the line, they needed to upgrade their track to carry the weight of their C17.

On that date, Beaudesert Rail's ex-Emu Bay diesel 1105 derailed about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Bethania, between the Dairy Creek Road and Easterly Street level crossings.

In 2006, the Zig Zag Railway acquired the former Beaudesert Rail carriages for use on their Blue Mountains system.

At Logan Village, only the platform remains and is covered with growth, the station area is rarely mown and fences have collapsed.

At the Waterford - Tamborine road crossing the signals and signage have recently been removed after intersection upgrades.

At Beaudesert the station building, water tower stand and the floor of the goods shed remains.

[citation needed] In 2010 a Queensland Government study proposed a new passenger rail line to Beaudesert utilising (and potentially duplicating and electrifying) the dual gauge line from Salisbury to Kagaru, then a new alignment to Veresdale, where the final ~9 km original alignment to Beaudesert would be utilised.

[20][21][22] In November 2019 the Queensland Government and Australian Government agreed to fund a $10 million business case to investigate construction of two electrified narrow-gauge passenger tracks from Salisbury to Beaudesert and two dual-gauge freight tracks between Acacia Ridge and Kagaru, a corridor which is being proposed for the Inland Rail project.
