History
Yeerongpilly station opened in 1884 as Logan Junction with the opening of the railway to Loganlea. It was renamed South Coast Junction in 1885 and again to Yeerongpilly in 1893.
It was the junction station for the Corinda line until passenger services ceased on the line in June 2011 and were replaced by Brisbane Transport's route 104.
The design for the Queensland Tennis Centre included extending the footbridge over Fairfield Road, however when the centre was built it was not included. Construction eventually commenced in July 2010, with the new bridge opened on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.
With the opening of the NSW North Coast line to South Brisbane in 1930, the New South Wales Government Railways opened a depot to the south of the station. This closed on 13 February 1997 with the turntable relocated to the new National Rail Acacia Ridge facility.
In 1995, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line from South Brisbane was converted to dual gauge. This was later extended to Salisbury.
