The station is shared with the short preserved section of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway.

History[]

The station opened on 3 December 1862 and remains in operation, despite closing for goods services on 3 November 1975. Dromod was also a station on the narrow gauge Cavan and Leitrim Railway. It opened on 24 October 1887 and finally closed on 1 April 1959.[2] A short section of narrow gauge line has been reopened at the station as part of preservation efforts.[3]
