Abandoned Station, Ballybeg, Co Meath, Ireland
Further down the Great Northern Navan - Oldcastle branch from Virginia Rd, Co Meath, was the delightful rural station of Ballybeg, the first station west out of Navan.
The epitome of a rural Irish railway station, serving a rural townland rather then a village or a town, the station many years after closure retained it’s original Great Northern crossing gates and fully wooden Mens and Ladies waiting room on it’s single platform. The station garden was loving cared by two sisters who then lived there and always offered warm hospitality to the curious.
The station closed with the rest of the branch in 1963, 110 years after it’s opening and is now a private residence.
