Railway station in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland
Omagh railway passenger station served Omagh in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.
The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the first station on 13 September 1852.[1]
A series of temporary stations, near the junction with the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, served the town until 3 March 1863 when a new, joint station - shared by the two companies (or, rather, their successors)- was opened [2] at the junction.
The station was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883.
It closed on 15 February 1965.[3]
