The Clogher Valley Railway was a 37 mile long, 3 ft narrow gauge railway or tramway that ran along the roadside in County Tyrone and County Fermanagh for over half a century. It opened in May 1887 and closed on 1 January 1942 (with the last trains running the previous day)
The railway was mainly situated in rural parts of County Tyrone.
The western terminus was Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh where the line shared Maguiresbridge railway station with the Great Northern Railway on the Clones to Enniskillen line. It then proceeded in a north-easterly direction through stations at Brookeborough, Colebrooke, Fivemiletown, Clogher and Augher until reaching Ballygawley station, at which point the line turned in a south-easterly direction to Aughnacloy, Caledon and the terminus at Tynan, County Armagh (where the Great Northern Railway was again met, this time at Tynan and Caledon railway station on the Clones to Portadown line).
Aughnacloy was the line's principal station and the location of the company's headquarters and workshops.
Fivemiletown was the second largest station; like a tramway the line passed down the middle of Main Street, Fivemiletown.
It was originally known as the Clogher Valley Tramway, but changed its legal status and its name to the Clogher Valley Railway in 1894.
