History

The Ulster Railway opened a line between Belfast and Lisburn, County Antrim in 1839 and extended in stages to reach Clones, County Monaghan in 1863.

The Ulster railway (Belfast to Portadown line), Dublin and Drogheda Railway (D&D) (Dublin to Drogheda line) and Dublin and the Belfast Junction Railway (D&BJct) (Drogheda to Portadown line, completed in 1852), together formed the main line between Dublin and Belfast.

In 1876 the Ulster Railway merged with the Irish North Western Railway (INW), and Northern Railway of Ireland, to form the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) ((GNR(I) or GNRI).
