Wulkuraka station opened as Brisbane Valley Junction in the 1880s, being the junction station for the Brisbane Valley railway line from 1884 until 1989. It was renamed Wulkuraka in 1905.[1][2] The station has undergone an extensive refurbishment in conjunction with the construction of the New Generation Rollingstock depot, west of the station.[3]
The Sadliers Crossing Railway Bridge is a heritage-listed truss bridge built in 1902 to the east of Wulkuraka station across the Bremer River.[1][4]
A maintenance depot for the New Generation Rollingstock trains lies west of the station.[5][6][7]
Wulkuraka is served by City network services from Rosewood to Ipswich. Most services terminate at Ipswich although some peak-hour services continue to Bowen Hills and Caboolture.[8]
