Discovering Fermanagh's Railways: Belcoo & Blacklion Station

Alan Devers Discovers the history of the Fermanagh Railways in this new series of videos from Headhunters Barber Shop & Railway Museum which travels the route of the Sligo Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway and Great Northern Railway Ireland.

Belcoo & Blacklion Station is also preserved and over the years the signal cabin has been restored and signal re-erected while the house is now a private dwelling.  The current owners have lovingly brought the station back to life.  The nameboard Belcoo and Blacklion emphasizes the fact that the station served Belcoo in Fermanagh and Blacklion in Cavan.  After 1922 this was a station serving Northern Ireland and the then Free State.
