Drumsough is an automatic half-barrier level crossing remotely monitored. It was called “Cookstown Junction” until 1976. The BNCR line to Cookstown opened in 1856 and closed to passengers in 1950. The goods service to Cookstown ended in 1955 but continued to the intermediate station of Magherafelt until 1959. A minor road nearby is still called the “Junction Road”. Belfast is to the right and Londonderry to the left.
