Lougrea railway station opened in 1890 as the terminus of the Loughrea & Attymon branch line.[1] It closed on 3 November 1975. As of 2018 the station building remains in a run down state but has been closed to the general public for safety precautions. The former water tower has been preserved, incorporated into the new industrial unit adjacent to the former station.[2]

Model

The Model Railway Society of Ireland have constructed a working OO gauge model of Loughrea railway station and surrounds.[3]

gollark: No, that handles it now.

gollark: I just do```javascriptconst days = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*in: ([0-9]+) day/, 0));const hours = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*and ([0-9]+) hour/, 0));```now.

gollark: Hmm. I'm not sure whether it'd be worth switching out my current parsing thing or not.

gollark: Nobody understands regexes, don't worry.

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```
