The station no longer operates, but the line still exists, with the Savannahlander tourist train passing through Petford on its way between Cairns and Forsayth.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|48840|Petford|locality in Shire of Mareeba|accessdate=30 December 2017}} {{Shire of Mareeba}}{{Queensland-geo-stub}}2. ^The Savannahlander - Forsayth to Cairns Thomas, A.
