'''Athboy railway station''' was the terminus of a branch line which diverged from the [[Dublin-Navan railway line|Dublin to Navan line]] at [[Kilmessan Junction railway station|Kilmessan Junction]] and served the village of [[Athboy]] in [[County Meath]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Opened by the [[Dublin and Meath Railway]], the station was absorbed by the [[Midland Great Western Railway]], and so joined the [[Great Southern Railways (Ireland)|Great Southern Railways]].<br />
<br />
The station was then nationalised, passing on to the [[Córas Iompair Éireann]] as a result of the [[Transport Act 1944]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA21Y1944.html |title=(untitled) |website=Irish Statute Book |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070426164302/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA21Y1944.html |archivedate=26 April 2007 }}</ref> which took effect from 1 January 1945. It then closed under this management.<br />
