Annaloughlan Halt was a railway station which served Annaloughan in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

History

The station was on the Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway. From 1873 to 1951 there was a ferry service between Greenore and Holyhead. The London and North Western Railway constructed a substantial hotel and railway station at Greenore to serve passengers using the ferry. This was the line on which Annaloughlan station was opened in 1935.

Transferred to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the station then passed on to the Ulster Transport Authority. The station closed in 1951 although the railway ran until 1 January 1952[1] and was replaced by bus services to Dundalk and Newry.
