CLOGHER VALLEY RAILWAY
The Clogher Valley Railway was a 37 mile long , 3 ft narrow gauge railway in County Tyrone and County Fermanagh. It opened in May 1887 and closed on 1 January 1942 (with the last trains running the previous day). The western terminus was Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh, where the line shared a station with the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) on the Clones to Enniskillen line. It then proceeded in a north-easterly direction through stations at Brookeborough, Colebrooke, Fivemiletown, Clogher and Augher until reaching Ballygawley station, at which point the line turned in a south-easterly direction to Aughnacloy, Caledon and the eastern terminus at Tynan, County Armagh (where the Great Northern Railway was again met, this time on the Clones to Portadown line). Aughnacloy was the line's principal station and the location of the company's headquarters and workshops. Fivemiletown was the second largest station. Like a tramway, the line passed down the middle of the main streets of both Fivemiletown and Caledon. The railway ran alongside the public roadway for nearly all of its length.
