5 km from Parkgate, Ireland

Weed-spraying train, Doagh station

CIE locomotive no 206 heads the weed-spraying train past the closed Doagh station. Doagh was served by two stations. The village was the terminus of a branch (1884/1930) from Ballyboley Jct on the narrow-gauge line from Ballymena to Larne and this one on the Belfast – Londonderry line. It opened in 1848 and closed in 1970 by which time it was served by very few trains. It was not particularly close to the village from which it took its name.
