Donaghmore Railway

[gthomp045]

Hello,
My G Grandfather apparently was stationmaster at the above around 1920. His name was Thompson.
Are there any railway buildings exisiting in Donaghmore or has anyone a source for maps showing the railway route at the time of the GNRI?
Best regards,
Gary

Hi Gary
I don't think Donaghmore had a station but it would have been on the route of the Finn Valley Railway. Check out this link. I had a quick look but found nothing but it's certainly worht having a more indepth look.

Thanks Louise for your reply.
It turns out Donaghmore did have a station and it was on the Great Northern Line.
I've been to visit the old stationhouse which is now derelict and in private hands.
Here is a great local web site - http://www.donaghmorelivinghistory.com/index.htm

I remember playing around some wagons there in the 1950's and certainly did get there from Belfast around 1950-51.
