Blackweir

Blackweir Station, Co.Clare, was the only intermediate station between Moyasta Junction and Kilkee on the 1895 constructed narrow gauge West Clare Railway which originated in Ennis. The West Clare was the last narrow gauge line in Ireland, finally closing in 1961. Blackweir Station had a single platform and single storey station building, similiar to others on the line serving sparsely populated areas. The singe platform and building remain, though very much extended. Adjacent to the former station level crossing are some interesting old Irish road signs.
Blackweir Station, on the West Clare Railway, looking east towards Ennis. The station had a single platform and single storey station building, now much extended. The brick window surrounds show the original sections. Closer view of the station, showing the single platorm, still very much intact. Looking west towards Tralee from the former level crossing at Blackweir Station, part of the trackbed is been used as a farm track. n extremely rare pre 1956 style Irish road sign at Balckweir Station. These signs were based off similar British designs. It was thought there was none in existance by the roads in Ireland.
