  • Kilfree Junction is a former station in County Sligo and was located on the Sligo line in the townland of Cloontycarn between Boyle and Ballymote about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the track summit though the Curlew Mountains. It enabled connections on the branch line to Ballaghaderreen in County Roscommon. The junction faced Ballymote and Sligo station and was a trailing junction in the Boyle and Dublin Connolly direction requiring a reversal. The station was not located near any significant settlement, the nearest, Gorteen in County Sligo being over 6 km away. The station had three platforms: two served a passing loop on the main line and the third was used by the branch line. All main line trains usually used the island platform for easier transfers to the branch line. The station had sidings and turntable for turning round engines coming up from the branch line together with a loop for running the branch line train. There was a signal box and a house for the station master. (en)
