Adrahan, Co.Galway, is
located on the 1860s built Waterford Limerick & Western's built
Limerick to
Athenry line. Adrahan Station had a
single platform, single storey stone built station building and small
goods shed. The station closed to passengers when Limerick-Claremorris
passenger trains ceased in 1976, but remained open for excursion traffic
until the mid 1980s, but the line remained in use for regular freight
trains until the late 1990s. The Limerick-Athenry line is of course part
of the
Western Rail Corridor and Adrahan Station will re-open
for passenger traffic in 2009. Already track renewal is underway on the
WRC as seen in these pictures. |
