Omagh railway station
Omagh railway station was a railway station that served Omagh in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.
History
The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station on 13 September 1852.A series of temporary stations, near the junction with the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, served the town until 3 March 1863 when a new, joint station - shared by the two companies - was opened at the junction.
The station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
On 24 November 1950, five permanent way workers were killed when a passenger train struck them in heavy fog as it entered the station. The incident is known as the Omagh rail tragedy and is commemorated locally with a memorial stone and garden.
It closed on 15 February 1965 when the Ulster Transport Authority mothballed the Derry Road line.
