Ardee railway station was a railway station which served Ardee in County Louth, Ireland. It was the terminus of a branch which diverged from the Belfast-Dublin line at Dromin Junction.[1]
The station was opened by the Great Northern Railway of Ireland in 1896. Ardee lost its passenger services in 1934 but goods traffic continued to flow until the 1970s. The last scheduled service was a special in October 1975, and the line was unused after that time, the goods service officially closed in November 1975.[2] The line was not officially abandoned until 1987, with the rails being 'lifted' shortly after.
