The Rosewood line extends from Ipswich to the south-western suburbs of Brisbane. It is an extension of the Ipswich line, and the lines are combined in timetables. The line also forms part of the main line extending to Toowoomba, Charleville and beyond. It is double track between Ipswich and Rosewood. Services on the Rosewood line typically operate as a shuttle service between Ipswich and Rosewood, although some trains run direct from the city, mostly in peak hours.
