History

The Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 17 July 1854.^[1] The Castleblayney, Keady and Armagh Railway extended their line from Keady to Castleblayney on 1 December 1910, connecting with Armagh, though the Partition of Ireland resulted in this extension closing on 2 April 1923.

The Irish North Western main line closed to passenger traffic on 14 October 1957 following the closure of most of the GNRI's cross-border lines, but survived for occasional goods and excursion traffic until 1 January 1960.
