I took the train from this station in 1956 to go to my first job at The Department of Agriculture in Merrion Street, Dublin where the department was then located.. There were a lot of comings and goings, sad partings and joyful reunions at this station. Many memories.
Thank you for sharing your comments, it’s lovely to hear your memories and history some time ago at this station. We hope it brought back some positive memories
I actually travelled on this railway line from Claremorris to Collooney (the 'Burma Road') and on to Sligo in 1975. This was on a special steam train from Dublin. The tour was organised by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland. I was much saddened to learn a few months later that this scenic railway line had been closed. I am delighted that nearly 50 years on a part of the 'Burma Road' has now been repurposed in this way.
Lovely to see that my home is so alive....Yes my dad was the last station master 1963 there's a tear in my eye ,as he passed away 1972

The reopening of the Western Rail Corridor should be done in phases. Cutting down on Pollution, Car Accidents, Road Deaths & Traffic Jams.
Total exclusion for the people of the area who would prefer a green way ,, benefiting a private enterprise . The people of kiltinagh do not benefit
I was wondering if the proceeds benefited Kiltimagh or Co Mayo. Only indirectly apparently. Does the private company lease the rail from the county?
