Waterford Iron Foundry at South Station, the former terminus of the Waterford, Dungarvan & Lismore Railway, 1878-1906, until the opening of the Suir Railway Bridge. Waterford South closed to passengers on Dec.31, 1907, and the signal cabin was dispensed with four years later. During the Great War, the nearby land was used as a munitions factory from 1916, which, in turn, was followed by the Neptune Iron Works in 1919, later renamed as the Waterford Ironfounders Ltd. Freight traffic continued to use the station and railway line until 1974. '
