Mohill

Mohill, Co.Leitrim, was the only important intermediate station on the November 1888 built Cavan & Leitrim narrow gauge line, which ran from Dromod north to Ballinamore. Mohill Station remains largely intact despite having closed as long ago as April 1959. The large typical C&L brick station building, complete with original booking office doors survives intact, albeit derelict. On the up platform the corrugated iron waiting shelter also remains. At the north end of the station is the C&L small stone built goods shed. The site of the level crossing at the north end of the station has been obliterated by road widening.

The small level crossing at the north end of Mohill Station has been totally abliterated by road widening, and the garage seen here has been extended much since railway days. The former line contined straight ahead between the cream coloured house on the left and the garage on the right, the latter has since been demolished and replaced by a Centra store.
