HFF Mullingar Westmeath Ireland 19th April 2016

HFF Mullingar Westmeath Ireland 19th April 2016
The abandoned down platform of the MGWR station at Mullingar is slowly deteriorating. The up platform looks in better shape but neither are in railway operational use. Note the junction signal box in the centre distance.

The line from here to Athlone opened in 1851 as the first line from Dublin to Galway but with intercity trains diverted in 1973 it closed for passengers in 1987 and freight in the 1990s. Trains to Galway are now concentrated on the old Great Southern and Western Railway via Portarlington to Athlone.

HFF & have a great weekend.
