History
A station for Doomben Racecourse was opened in 1909 ["Shunting Doomben" Milne, Rod Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, November, 1991 pp264-275] alongside the Nudgee Road level crossing, and in 1976 a new station – Whinstanes-Doomben – opened slightly further east; Whinstanes was the name of the industrial branch line that crosses Kingsford Smith Drive to the Hamilton Cold Stores.
The station was renamed as simply Doomben with the electrification of the line in 1988, but only as far as Eagle Farm station, the next station east.
Passenger services on the line were suspended on 27 September 1993 by the Goss Labor Party state government rationalization of the rail network throughout Queensland, with the suspending or closing of unprofitable and under-utilized rail lines. However, the station remained functional as a freight control centre.
On 27 January 1998, passenger services resumed under a Borbidge National Party government, [cite press release | title = Doomben Rail Service Resume January 27 | publisher = Queensland Government | date = 1998-01-21 | url = http://statements.cabinet.qld.gov.au/MMS/StatementDisplaySingle.aspx?id=5094 | accessdate = 2007-11-22 ] and the station re-opened to passengers as a terminus as passenger services only operated to as far as Doomben.
