Site Description

The former goods store is on the Down side at this station that closed in 1963. This is in a serious state of disrepair and in need of restoration. The derelict, overgrown station building is on this side as well. There was previously a signal cabin, closed in 1977, on the Up side. This was opened in 1930 upon the removal of the junction at Carrignagat, resulting in two single lines from that point to Ballisodare. There were both Up and Down platforms here, that on the Down side remains. A half mile long private siding from the local flour mill, of Pollexfen and Company trailed in on the Down side at the Sligo end of the station. The trackbed of this, running in a cutting, remains.
