Dromod railway station serves the village of Dromod in County Leitrim and nearby Roosky in County Roscommon. It is a station on the Dublin Connolly to Sligo intercity service.[1]
The station is shared with the short preserved section of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway.
The Dromod Railway Station also experiences large problems with flooding when heavy rain occurs in the area and is deemed unreliable by the local population.
History
The station opened on 3 December 1862 and remains in operation, despite closing for goods services on 3 November 1975. Dromod was also a station on the narrow gauge Cavan and Leitrim Railway. It opened on 24 October 1887 and finally closed on 1 April 1959.[2] A short section of narrow gauge line has been reopened at the station as part of preservation efforts.
