Liffey Junction is a former railway station and junction on the erstwhile Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) in Dublin, Ireland. The station opened in 1864〔Midland Great Western Railway; Shepherd, Ernie; ISBN 1-85780-008-7; 1994 - p118〕 upon the opening of the Liffey Line from this point to the River Liffey at North Wall. The station closed to passenger traffic on 18 January 1937〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Railscot - Irish Railways )〕 upon the concurrent closure of the line from Broadstone to Liffey Junction, such traffic being rerouted to Pearse Station (then Westland Row). The station remained in use until 1977 for cattle traffic and afterwards was used as a wagon storage point. Today, most of the features of this station have disappeared. Those that remain include the water tower between the trackbed of the mainline and the Liffey Line branch (now part of the Dublin–Sligo line) fronting onto the Royal Canal, the down side loading bank and traces of the up side island platform. There is also a water column. There was a carriage shed located between the Liffey Line and the Royal Canal. This area remains distinguishable today as a triangular shaped area on the north eastern side of the Liffey Line bridge over the Royal Canal. The MGWR's creosoting plant was also located here. , the former alignment to Dublin Broadstone has been cleared in preparation for the Luas Cross City services, which are expected to commence in 2017. A new Luas depot is being built on the site of the former Liffey Junction station. The remaining features will be completely demolished. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liffey Junction railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
