There was a time when the Townsville railway station was a busy centre of activity in the city , a tourist attraction, as this fold out pictorial view souvenir from the Little Darwin Ephemera Collection shows . Nowadays it is a quieter part of the city and it is not known if it is on any organised history tour to inspect its interesting architecture , ticket box layout , war Roll of Honour .There is now a Railway Oval fountain at the front of the old building.
On a recent visit to the area, the fountain , which should be playing as above, was not working properly, apparently blocked by bottles, plastic bags and cans .
The neglected plaque at the Railway Oval in need of prompt restoration .
