Tanderagee railway station

Tanderagee railway station was opened on 6 January 1852. It was originally named Madden Bridge Railway Station and was located on the Madden Road between the villages of Tandragee, County Armagh and Gilford, County Down, Northern Ireland. It closed on 4 January 1965.[1]

The Madden Bridge Railway Station served as a crucial transit point for numerous British and American soldiers enroute to Tandragee and Gilford during World War II.[2]

Tanderagee is also spelt as Tandragee, after the nearby town. Tanderagee and Gilford railway station was the original name upon opening of the station.[1]

Only the two platforms remain, the station buildings having been demolished.
