The Belfast to Downpatrick Railway Line opened in 1859 and closed in 1950. This junction was built north of Downpatrick in 1892 to connect with Dundrum and Newcastle but was closed in 1950. 

In 1993 the Downpatrick and County Down Railway with funding from the International Fund for Ireland created this replica station canopy using the remains of the original ironwork. The station is on the only operational railway triangle on a preserved railway. 

Use our Map of Ireland and Sat Nav tool to get directions to any point on the line and our detailed maps and GPS on our ActiveME iPhone and Android App to find and follow the railway line live on screen and keep on track. At all times, our maps and App should be used in conjunction with proper map and compass navigation techniques.
