Drimoleague

A replica station sign at Drimoleague, junction of the CB&SCR lines to Bantry and Skibbereen. The line to Skibbereen opened through Drimoleague in 1877 as part of the Ilen Valley Railway which subsequently became part of the CB&SCR system. The original station at Drimoleague was relocated slightly to the east in 1899 a few years after the line to Bantry was opened between 1881 and 1892. The sign stands around where the original station was sited. Drimoleague closed in 1961.
