Proserpine railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia.
The agreement worked out between the two councils of Bowen and Proserpine, was to have a shared responsibility to build and operate the tramway.
However, the Government chose not to enter the argument, and the railway between Don (which was a mile from Bowen) and Proserpine opened to traffic on 11 July 1910.
There was an official opening of sorts on 2 July 1910, when the Governor of Queensland, Sir William MacGregor was visiting the Proserpine Show.
It was a reasonably rustic railway that greeted the ratepayers of the Bowen Proserpine Joint Tramway Board in 1909.
A small ‘Mogul’ (2-6-0 wheel arrangement), built by the Baldwin locomotive company of Philadelphia had arrived in Queensland in 1879.
