The
Great Northern Railway (Ireland) opened the station on 31 July 1886. The branch closed to passengers on 10 March 1947, though it remained in use for light goods until 1 January 1960. The station building and platform have since been demolished, but the engine house, station house, water tower and a number of sheds remain. The former stationmasters house is also fully intact now used as a domestic residence. ==Routes==
