History

There have been three railways stations named Bowen Hills. The first from 1882 to 1889 was near Campbell Street. In 1890, a new station opened at the south end of the Abbotsford Road tunnel. In 1971, to allow for the Mayne marshalling yards to be expanded, Bowen Hill and Mayne Junction stations were closed with a new Bowen Hills station opening in 1973.<ref>Bowen Hills & Mayne Centre for Queensland Government</ref>

As part of the quadruplication of the line from Roma Street station, Platforms 3 and 4 opened on 11 June 1996.<ref>"Roma Street – Bowen Hills Quadruplication Update" Railway Digest March 1995 page 14</ref><ref>"Inner City Rail Expansion" Railway Digest July 1995 page 17</ref><ref>"Additional City Tunnels & Track Commissioned" Railway Digest July 1996 page 17</ref>

Accidents

In October 1904, Archibald Kerr, a 16-year-old boy, fell from a moving train near Bowen Hills station; the boy died from the injury to the back of his head caused by the fall. At the time, the train driver was not aware of the event until he was told about it by the signalman on the train's return journey at Brunswick Street station. The train gate was blamed as the cause of the accident at first, but after the gate was found to be in working order, the cause of the accident wasn't known.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
