History

The station was opened in 1858 by the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, which the Great Northern Railway (GNR) took over in 1876. Annaghmore was served by GNR passenger trains between Template:Rws and Template:Rws via Template:Rws. The GNR built a fruit store at the station for the considerable traffic of locally-grown produce, mainly apples and strawberries, that it shipped out of the area by special trains.[1] The Ulster Transport Authority took over the GNR's remaining lines in Northern Ireland in 1958 and closed the PD&O on 15 February 1965.

After the line was closed the former station was sold. For a time it was a car dealership and repair garage and lay derelict for many years until the station was demolished and the site cleared for housing in 2020.
