History

The station opened on 24 July 1848 as Bagnalstown (renamed Bagenalstown by April 1910). The station was designed by Sancton Wood. [2]

Opened by the Great Southern and Western Railway, the station was amalgamated into the Great Southern Railways. The line was then nationalised, passing to the Córas Iompair Éireann with the Transport Act 1944 which took effect from 1 January 1945. [3]

The station was closed to passengers on 30 March 1963 and for goods traffic on 6 September 1976. [4] Although the station closed the line remained open.

Station passed on to the Iarnród Éireann in 1986 and was re-opened, renamed Muine Bheag, in 1988. The station nameboards bore solely the Irish language name until c.2015 when they were replaced with the bilingual Muine Bheag/Bagenalstown.
