Farranfore railway station serves the village of Farranfore in County Kerry, Ireland. It is located a short distance away from Kerry Airport.[1]

History

The station opened on 18 July 1859 as part of the Tralee & Killarney Railway which opened on the same date and gave a continuous line from Dublin along the Great Southern and Western Railway (GS&WR) to Шаблон:Rws then via the Killarney Junction Railway.Шаблон:Sfn The GS&WR had heavy interests and investments in both companies and absorbed them both on 1 May 1860.Шаблон:Sfn

The GS&WR completed a branch from Farranfore to Killorglin, some Шаблон:Convert south on 15 January 1885, and this was extended to Шаблон:Rws, the most westerly station in Ireland, Шаблон:Circa Шаблон:Convert distant, which opened on 12 September 1893.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The line to Valentia diverged from the Mallow/Dublin line to the south of the station,Шаблон:Efn and a bay platform adjacent to the west (down) platform was provided for trains to and from Valentia. In general trains to Valentia originated from Tralee and returned there, and were often timed to pass a Mallow-Tralee train in the opposite direction at Farrenfore. The usual procedure was for the Valentia train to use the bay (thus requiring a reversal either in or out) and for the main line train to use the down platform, even if an up train towards Mallow, thus enabling a cross-platform interchange between the two trains.Шаблон:Sfn

The Farranfore–Valentia Harbour line closed on 1 February 1960.Шаблон:Sfn
