Kilrea Railway Station

Kilrea railway station was on the Derry Central Railway which ran from Magherafelt to Macfin Junction in Northern Ireland.

History

The station was opened by the Derry Central Railway on 18 February 1880. It was taken over by the Northern Counties Committee in September 1901.

The station closed to passengers on 28 August 1950 by the Ulster Transport Authority following the line's closure to passenger traffic (and complete closure north of the station) and then closed completely on 1 October 1959 with the line's complete closure.
