Ore train at Navan station - 1994

Irish Rail 001 class diesel locomotive No. 012 brings an ore train from Tara Mines into Navan's well-preserved GNR(I) station.

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.
