Description
This was the temporary terminus, originally Newry Armagh Road, of the northern portion Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway, running south from Portadown, before the opening of the middle section over the incomplete Craigmore Viaduct. It was in an isolated location, Mullaghglass, north of Newry. The spelling Mullaglass is also used.
The station ceased to be a terminus in 1852, six months after opening when the line was completed. It was renamed Mullaghglass in 1854.
It closed in 1856, replaced by Newry Main Line which was to the south, closer to Newry itself.
