History
The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) opened the station on 31 July 1886.{{cite web |title=Carrickmacross | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2012-04-29}} The branch closed to passengers on 10 March 1947, though it remained in use for light goods until 1 January 1960.
The station building and platform have since been demolished, but the engine house, station house, water tower and a number of sheds remain. The former stationmasters house is also fully intact now used as a domestic residence.{{Cite web|url = http://www.louthheritage.ie/publications_25_715113193.pdf|title = An Industrial Heritage Survey of Railways in Counties Monaghan and Louth, Part 2.
