The Portlaoise (Maryborough) Railway Station became a Junction in 1867, when the Waterford & Kilkenny Railway extended its line northwards through Abbeyleix, following the route of the Kilkenny Junction Railway operated by the Great Southern & Western Railway architecture but closed in 1962. This section of dismantled railway may have the potential to be developed as a walking/cycle route.
