The seat commemorates 150 years of the Queensland Railways from 1865 to 2015.
On 31 July 1865, Queensland's first railway line was officially opened. The line ran between Ipswich and Bigge's Camp (later named Grandchester). Since that time railways have continued to extend throughout the state and provide a vital link to remote communities. Queensland Rail is a statutory authority of the Queensland Government.
