It was opened by the Donegal Railway Company on 6 August 1900. It was built in red brick in 1899–1900 by R Campbell & Son of Belfast to designs by James Barton. Its front elevation faced the Craigavon Bridge.
It closed on 1 January 1955.[1]
The station building was purchased by O'Neill & McHenry, a firm of wholesale grocers, who adapted it for storage purposes.
The former bonded warehouse which presently has the address of 6 Victoria Road has been inhabited by Dawson Hinds Office Furniture Centre since the early 1990s.
Part of the building was leased for some years to the North West of Ireland Railway Society, which maintained a museum there.[2]

gollark: I do also have some personal services running on the same infrastructure, but I barely have to tweak those.
gollark: So it appears that the comments system is down because I recompiled my website with the new domain so the status/images links would be right, and forgot to stick in configuration for proxying to the comments backend onto the new domain. I have to deal with bizarre issues like this *constantly* just to keep my stupid projects in existence and available.
gollark: I can't tell.
gollark: Creature says lots of things like that, maybe ironically.
