[3] Passenger services ended in 1944 due to coal shortages which became critical during The Emergency, and though there were hopes of it re-opening this never happened.

[5] In order for the DW&WR to continue its main line to Wexford it needed around 1860 to purchase lands from Earl Fitzwilliam.

As part of those negotiations Lord Fitzwilliam hinted he desired a branch line to his home at Shillelagh on his Coolattin Estate.

Following his agreement to donate land and other resources, the relevant Bill was passed and construction of the branch line commenced in March 1864.

[6] Woodenbridge Junction station (1865-1964) was originally an exchange platform between the Dublin to Rosslare main line and the start of the Shillelagh branch.

[1] The station included a passing loop, goods shed, signal box, cattle pens and a short spur to Aughrim Flour Mills.
