Dublin to Drogheda Railway Map 1844
Dublin to Drogheda Railway Map 1844
The Dublin to Drogheda line was thirty two miles long and it took approximately one hour and eighteen minutes to travel the distance on the train when it was first opened. During its first summer three types of trains frequented the route: the mails, the quick trains and the mixed trains. The mail trains and the quick trains only accommodated first and second class passengers, and travelled at the highest speed. These trains only stopped at Malahide and Balbriggan. The mixed trains which stopped at all the stations and shipped all types of goods also carried third class passengers. It was known to have better conditions for third class passengers than other railway lines and this encouraged poorer classes to take the train especially during the winter months. Its terminus in Dublin was Amiens Street, now known as Connolly Station.
