Tuam Railway Station

An 1860 Irish station, closed since the last freight run in 1993

Tuam Railway Station

Tuam’s 1860 station lost its passengers in 1976 and its freight trains in 1993, then sat shut for decades — long enough that its wrought-iron lattice footbridge, platform canopies, and water tower are all still standing, untouched since the last train left. It’s one of the most complete abandoned railway stations left in Ireland. A long-discussed revival as part of the Western Rail Corridor hasn’t happened, so it waits.
