Killucan, Co.Westmeath, is
located roughly half way between Mullingar and Enfield on the main
Dublin-Sligo line. The station, which serves an adjacent small village,
closed to passengers in 1963. The station however retained its signal
cabin to control the loop and crossing gates. Today, the signal cabin is
redundant following CTC introduction recently, and now the loop is
controlled from Connolly. The station building at Enfield is unusual
MGWR design, which doesn't appear anywhere else on the network. It is
currently semi derelict. Both up & down platforms remain and have the
distinctive raised/lower ends of the MGWR design. These pictures were
taken before mechanical signalling was replaced. |
