The Sunshine Coast region is north of Brisbane and has the third-largest population area in Queensland, after Brisbane and the Gold Coast. From Brisbane the line shares the Caboolture line, and then continues to Nambour and Gympie North. It is double track between Caboolture and Beerburrum, while the remainder is single track. Most services on the line terminate at Nambour, with Gympie North receiving two services a day. Services typically run express between Bowen Hills and Petrie, stopping only at Eagle Junction and Northgate. The long-distance North Coast line shares the Sunshine Coast line.
