Description

DescriptionPostwar conditions stressed the cramped railways workshops in North Ipswich, and in 1949 steps began to establish new workshops east of the woollen mill. Occupation of new buildings at Redbank began in 1958 but a further seven years passed before the railway foundry was operational. The workshops gradually took over from the Ipswich Railway Workshops. In 1993 they were established as 'centre for excellence' with an upgrade to facilities that began in 1994 and were completed in 1997. It continues to be a railway workshop.References (offline)Information from University of Queensland ‘Queensland Places’, n.d. http://queenslandplaces.com.au/redbank
