Ballintra railway station was a Donegal Railway Company station on the Donegal to Ballyshannon line.[2][3] It was approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village of Ballintra, County Donegal in Ireland.
Opened in September 1905,[4] Ballintra was a station on the narrow-gauge railway line from Donegal Town to Ballyshannon. Located a short distance from the village, a local carriage service carried passengers to Ballintra.[5] The station had two sidings, a goods shed and cattle pens.[citation needed]
Originally operated by the Donegal Railway Company, the line and station transferred to the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee in 1906.[6]
As with other stations on the line, Ballintra station closed on 1 January 1960.[4]
