Carlow railway station |
| Carlow Railway Station was built in 1845 and was designed by
Dundalk engineer John Benjamin MacNeill who also designed Heuston
Station in Dublin. It is located on St Joseph's Road and Railway Road in
Carlow Town. The station is on the main Dublin to Waterford line. It is a
typical example of Jacobean Revival architecture. It comprises a two storey
central block and two single storey wings. There are two platforms, a signal
box and footbridge and the station also has offices and waiting areas. It is
built of yellow brick with granite features particularly in the window
dressings and drip moulds. Not
far from the station on Railway Road there is St Mary's Academy and Bishop
Foley School. |
