Kilmurry railway station

Kilmurry railway station was a former railway station located in the village of Kilmurry, County Cork, Ireland. It served the Cork and Macroom Direct Railway, which connected the city of Cork with the town of Macroom. The station was opened in the mid‑19th century, during the expansion of Ireland’s railway network, and ceased regular passenger operations in the mid‑20th century as part of the widespread closures affecting rural lines. After closure, the station buildings and associated infrastructure were dismantled or repurposed, and the site is now classified as disused.
