Newry railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Traenach Iúr Cinn Trá) serves the city of Newry and the village of Bessbrook in Northern Ireland. The station is located in the northwest of Newry, County Armagh on the Dublin-Belfast line close to the Craigmore Viaduct. It is the most southerly railway station in Northern Ireland.
