Fintona railway station

Fintona railway station served Fintona in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

History

The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 5 June 1853. From 1856, mainline services were withdrawn, and the station was the terminus of a branch line from Fintona Junction railway station. Passenger services on this branch line were worked by a horse, from 1883 until the closure of the line with a double-deck tram car. Freight services, however, were worked by a locomotive.
It was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
The line closed on 1 October 1957, having been the last horse-worked passenger railway on the island of Ireland.
