The old Ulster Railway station at Watson Street closed in 1970 to make way for the Northway. It was replaced by this station with the unwieldy name “Portadown (Craigavon West)”. The train is the 08.30 Dublin – Belfast “Enterprise”. When the photo was taken the bombing campaign had dramatically reduced the number of passengers travelling on cross-border trains. One generating van (CIE locomotives were non-ETH), one first-class coach, a dining car and three standards were more than sufficient.
