Lagoon Creek Pumping Station, Heritage listed railway pumping station in Caboolture, Australia.
The pumping station at Buckle Street features a weir and original pumping facilities that supported water supply for steam locomotives along the North Coast railway line.
Between 1913 and 1947, the facility developed in stages to provide essential water resources for steam locomotives at Caboolture railway station until operations ceased in 1968.
The selection of Caboolture over Morayfield as a railway station location occurred due to the water supply at Lagoon Creek, shaping regional development patterns.
The station pumped 1.6 million liters of water weekly during the 1930s, enabling steam locomotives to refill their water supplies every 48-64 kilometers along their route.
The original pumping mechanism incorporated a modified boiler from one of Queensland's earliest steam locomotives to operate the water pump system.
