Randalstown Railway Station

Randalstown railway station was on the Belfast and Ballymena Railway's Cookstown branch line, which ran from Cookstown Junction to Cookstown in Northern Ireland.

History

The station was opened by the Belfast and Ballymena Railway on 11 April 1848. The station buildings were designed by the architect Charles Lanyon.
