History
Southbound platform, 2018

In the past it was used to load freight for the distribution of timber and local produce. It once had a goods shed. The station was severely damaged by a cyclone in 1936.[3] For some time trains of eight or nine carriages had stopping at Loganlea when its platform length could only cover two or three carriages.[4]

In December 2019, the Queensland government announced the station would be moved to a new location 400 m (1,300 ft) to the east, adjacent to Logan Hospital.[5]
