Photo of the old Station (sorry lost the source record)
Looking South over the Southport Station from the early 20th century
Interestingly On a Map from 1878 the Station could have been in Labrador, just about where the Grand Apartments are now, and the Grand Hotel before - It was a deep water area
and would have been a logical freight interchange.

Southport Station
The Southport Transit station is rougly on the old station location and as you can see from the curious land plot boundaries there is
a curved path toward High St. The remains of the concrete for the turntable were still present when I moved to the Gold Coast in 1989 but now lost.
You will see in the "Images of Yesteryear" photo there was always a dogleg in Railway Street to the East (right) of this image, There
were lots of shunting tracks immediately in front of the station the track past the station was narrower, hence the street moved back south.
