Dromod, on the Dublin-Sligo line, has a typical two story MGWR station building, footbridge and waiting room. At the Sligo end of the station is the now disused goods shed, which was partly rebuilt to accommodate the recent platform extensions. Sadly, the MGWR signal cabin, as seen here in these pictures, was demolished to allow the down platform to be extended. In the 1880s, Dromod became a junction for the Cavan & Leitrim narrow gauge line to Ballinamore and Belturbet. Coal traffic from Arigna kept the C&L open until 1959, when it was closed by CIE. The new Cavan & Leitrim Railway have reopened a short section of the narrow gauge line, which utilises the C&L station building and engine sheds once again. These pictures show Dromod Station before modernisation and the demise of loco hauled trains on the Sligo line. |
