Abohill railway station served Abohill in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

The station opened in June 1886. Passenger services were withdrawn on 1 October 1957.[1][2]

History

The station was on the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway, one of the railways not to be absorbed into the state-owned system in 1925 since it crossed the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic (then the Irish Free State). The Railway was a pioneer in the use of railbuses. The line closed on 1 October 1957 as a direct result of the Government of Northern Ireland ordering closure of the railway line through Enniskillen.

gollark: No, what I mean is, are there easy to find but hard to verify problems?

gollark: No, other way round.

gollark: There are probably problems like that maybe. I think mostly for cryptography.

gollark: Well, you could set up your tax form such that it's easy for you to make and hard for them to verify.

gollark: > Well, on the other hand, many problems in nature are so computationally brutally hard that we can never truly hope to compute them, which prevents us from building a true virtual universe. I would say that's something positive.How is this a *good* thing?
