Moate_20120718_006_CC_JA.jpg - The only regular freight working over the Mullingar-Athlone route was the Dublin to Ballina Asahi liner. After 1987, this freight service was then routed via the Portarlington to Athlone line. Prior to this changeover in this June 1986 view, the signalman having arrived by motor cycle, closes the crossings gates prior to signalling the liner through to the station. ©Colm O'Callaghan
