Moyasta Junction station, Co.Clare, on the 1887/95 narrow gauge West Clare Railway, which ran from Ennis to Kilkee and Kilrush on the Shannon Estuary. Despite modernisation, the West Clare line closed in 1961 by CIE, and was the last surviving narrow gauge line in the country. Moyasta Jnc is where the line to Kilee and Kilrush split. The station was the only triangular one of the Irish narrow gauge, and boasts a single storey station building, water tower, and newly reconstructed WCR signal cabin, the station also had once control over five level crossings. The West Clare Railway company plan to reopen the line from Moyasta Jnc to Kilkee or Kilrush, as the trackbed of the former line has been preserved. A museum and short stretch of line has already been established at the junction station, and the extensions are in progress to Kilkee. |
