The Brisbane Tramway Museum is a short walk south of the station.
The station opened in 1918 as part of the extension to Samford.[1]
The line formerly extended to Dayboro, but was cut back to Ferny Grove in 1955, as part of a larger rationalisation by the Queensland Government of its railway lines. The line now terminates here with bus services running to Samford during peak times.[2][3]
The station was upgraded in 2012 as part of the Keperra-Ferny Grove duplication project. The upgrade included relocating the platform, a new station building and car park.[4]
The Camp Mountain rail accident occurred in 1947 west of Ferny Grove on the Dayboro stretch of the line. It is Queensland's worst railway accident. 16 people were killed when a picnic excursion train failed to negotiate a bend on the line between Camp Mountain and Samford. A small memorial marks the site of the accident.[5]
Ferny Grove is the terminus for all stops services to and from Roma Street, Park Road, Coopers Plains and Beenleigh.[6]
