Kilbricken, officially Kilbrickan (Irish: Cill Bhriocáin, meaning 'Briocán's church'),[1] is a hamlet in County Laois, Ireland, on the Dublin-Cork railway line.
Mountrath & Castletown railway station opened at Kilbricken on 1 September 1848. It was part of the Great Southern and Western Railway in Ireland and was used for 127 years before being closed for goods traffic on 3 November 1975 and finally closed altogether by the CIÉ on 6 September 1976.[2] The station is no longer served and the station buildings are now privately owned. Although derelict, the stone built station can still be seen standing along this track.
