Carndonagh railway station

In April 1928, the midday Londonderry train colluded with a horse and cart as it was traversing a level crossing about a mile from the railway station. The train destroyed the cart and severely mutilated the horse, which was subsequently put down. The rider, a boy called Neal Doherty, received minor injuries.[2]

In February 1933, a large barrel, containing 160 lbs of yeast was seized by the authorities at the station. The barrel was described in the manifest as "apples" while the delivery address was fictitious. The consignment was almost certainly destined to be used for the illicit production of Poteen. At the time, ownership and use of yeast was highly regulated as part of the effort to clamp down on the illegal production of alcohol. The press, at the time, described the seizure as the largest ever recorded in Inishowen.[3]
