The GNR(I) line from Banbridge to Scarva closed in 1955. There was a level crossing at Drumhork (“Drumhorc” on the road signs) which was the approximate half-way point on the line. This is the view 51 years after closure (looking towards Scarva) of what remains. The trees define the course of the line fairly well. There was never a station but railcars stopped from 1934 until closure.
