Ballyliffin railway station served Ballyliffin in County Donegal, Ireland. Built by the Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway Company, the railway station was in use from 1901 to 1935.
The station opened on 1 July 1901 on the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway line from Londonderry Graving Dock to Carndonagh. The station closed for passengers on 2 December 1935. [1]
It is now privately owned.
According to its entry in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH), the building is a "typical example of the railway stations along the Tooban to Carndonagh line". [2] It has a pitched slate roof, red brick chimneystacks, and yellow brick detailing. The NIAH entry states that it retains a number of "original features of interest", such as decorative clay ridge comb tiles and horned timber sash windows. [2]
