A train, from Kingscourt, approaching the level crossing, at the closed station at Gibbstown, north of Navan. The station had a platform on the Drogheda side of the level crossing (behind me) and a loading bank for goods at lower right.
The Drogheda - Navan - Kingscourt railway :: O0974

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.
