Dromod railway station serves the village of Dromod in County Leitrim and nearby Roosky in County Roscommon. It is a station on the Dublin Connolly to Sligo intercity service.[1]

The station is shared with the short preserved section of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway.

The Dromod Railway Station also experiences large problems with flooding when heavy rain occurs in the area and is deemed unreliable by the local population.
