Howth railway station

Howth railway station

Howth railway station ( _ga. Stáisiún Bhinn Éadair), opened on 30 May 1847 [cite web | title=Howth station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways |url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-09-03|format=PDF] , serves Howth Head and the harbour town of Howth in County Dublin, Ireland, in the administration of Fingal. It is a two platform terminal station.

Due to the the lack of a run-round facility, on the rare occasion that a locomotive-hauled train arrives (such as on a railtour) a second locomotive must follow the train light engine from Dublin so as to haul the train back from Howth.

The Howth tram ran between here and Sutton railway station until 1959.
