Dublin–Waterford railway line

The Kildare-Waterford line is a railway line in Ireland connecting Dublin with the major port of Waterford City in County Waterford. The line is part of the significant network of InterCity routes connected to the Dublin-Cork Main Line from Dublin Heuston. The line was constructed by the Great Southern and Western Railway. At Cherryville Junction, County Kildare the line splits from the Cork line.[1] Both passenger and freight services run on the line. InterCity passenger services are operated by the 22000 Class DMUs. Kilkenny is located on a short spur off the line; freight trains use the Lavistown loop line to avoid reversal there.[2]
