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. |

Suir Railway Bridge was opened in 1906, which enabled passenger boat trains to enter Waterford North station before moving east towards Rosslare. Built by the famous Scottish engineer, Sir Robert McAlpine, the Suir Bridge was a nine-span opening structure, 1205 feet in length with an 80-foot span in the centre. The bridge was closed in 1982 and has been partially dismantled, with the central section removed to Newrath, on the north bank, as recently as 1996. |
