| has gloss | eng: Attymon railway station serves the townland of Attymon in County Galway. It is the smallest station on the Dublin-Galway line consisting of a single platform with no signalling system or waiting room. The building at the station is boarded up and used as a store for line maintenance crew. The station used to link the Dublin-Galway line with a branch line to Loughrea but this has been removed, the line having closed in 1975. WESTRAIL had hoped to reopen the line as a tourist line, but failed to do so. The station once had 3 platforms in operation. A footbridge over the Galway - Dublin track joining 2 of the platforms is now in use in one of Dublin cities commuter railway stations.
