Up Railway Stations N » North Wall
 
Since the 1870s, the first railway companies of Ireland had begun to establish their own large goods yards in east Dublin City adjacent to Dublin Port. These yards had all remained largely intact up until the 1970s when new container cranes and track simplification with surplus yards closures came about with the introduction of bulk freight trains and the withdrawal of wagon load services. The complex yards are too detailed to divide into separate categories so I've decided to put them under the general larger area of North Wall, but I'll make reference to each yard here.

East Wall yard, established here by the Great Northern Railway in the 1870s, is today the main stabling point for timber and cement trains. In the yard is also a ballast loading point and civil engineers sidings. A wagon repair shed was also built here in the 1970s. The yard was simplified recently, and the container loading gantry was removed. The line to the Alexandra Rd tramway (which is used almost exclusively by Tara Mines trains) also passes through East Wall yard. A link line also ran from East Wall yard to the Great Southern & Western Railway's goods yard at the Point Depot, which was simplified in 1980s and now disconnected.

London & North Western Railway yard at North Wall was established in the 1870s, it once also had a passenger service, withdrawn as early as 1922. The yard was upgraded with new cranes, both in 1970 and 1994, but the withdrawal of container traffic resulted in the closure of the yard in 2005. Adjacent to the LNWR yard was the Midland Great Western Railway's goods yard, later used also for loading containers but by fork lift. In use up to late 1990s, it too closed in 2005 and now the new Docklands Station stands on its northern site.
