Opened, in sections, by four railway companies between 1850 and 1875. Drogheda – Navan closed to passengers in 1958, Navan – Kingscourt in 1947. There are two short branches – to Platin cement factory at Drogheda and the Tara mines at Navan. The Navan – Kingscourt section handled gypsum trains until 2001. The line still serves the Tara mines.
