Sadliers Crossing

Sadliers Crossing, a residential suburb, is two km west of central Ipswich, situated between Woodend and the Bremer River. It is on the railway line to Toowoomba and is served by the Thomas Street railway station. The railway crosses the Bremer River at the Sadliers Crossing railway bridge, a steel-girder structure completed in 1902. The bridge is on a line re-aligned from the 1865 route which met with steep grades.

It is thought that Sadliers Crossing was named after an early landowner, Thomas Sadlier.
