History

The Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 1 April 1851.[1]

It closed to passenger traffic on 14 October 1957 when the Northern Ireland Government forced the Great Northern Railway Board to close its cross-border lines. The North Western line survived for goods in the Republic until CIÉ closed it on 1 January 1960, while Culloville station had closed on 1 June 1958.
