Features

HISTORY.

A well-appointed, modest-scale railway station that is of particular significance on account of its associations with the introduction of the Great Southern Railway line to the locality by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours Company in the late nineteenth century. Features including the decorative cast-iron pillars to the platform (south-west) elevation, and polygonal flues to the chimney stacks, enhance the architectural design quality of the composition. However, extensive renovation works undertaken in the course of converting the building to an alternative purpose have led to the loss of much of the original fabric, which has not had a positive impact on the historic expression of the site

Cappagh, Co.Waterford, served one of the less populated areas between Lismore and Dungarvan. The Waterford, Dungarvan & Lismore Railway opened their line between Lismore and Dungarvan in 1878, later taken over by the Great Southern & Western. Cappagh Station was latterly a halt, boasting just one platform with no passing loop or signal cabin, however a siding was provided at the east end of the station serving the small stone built goods shed. The station building at Cappagh is a single storey stone structure, complete with small veranda on the platform side, held up by two ornate columns. The station remained open to both passenger and goods traffic until the Mallow to Waterford line closed in 1967. Today, both the single platform, station building and goods shed survive in a very good condition. At the western end of the station the railway crossed the N72 road at right angles, the former level crossing of which is still evident today.
