Background
History
The station opened on 1 July 1856, operated by the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway. It was taken over by the Northern Counties Committee in January 1861 and closed to passengers in 1867. Reopened on 19 February 1880 to coincide with the Derry Central Railway's extension to Magherafelt, the station was relocated and became Macfin Junction, situated to the southeast. Passenger service on the Derry Central Railway ceased on 20 August 1950, and the line between Macfin and closed entirely. Macfin station finally closed on 20 September 1954.
