    Is this what's left of it? Streetview PS I think the old station house is a bit further than the building on the left, better seen in this streetview from a viewpoint slightly to the right, with a vestige of the platform still visible.

    That is some change over the years.

    MIND THE GAP! Miss J B Dodwell, a nurse, had a nasty accident at the station in 1904
    When leaving it [the train] at Balysodare she found (it is alleged) that the platform was lower than the floor of the carriage, and that there was a large space between carriage and platform. While trying to reach the latter she slipped and fell between it and the carriage. She had a narrow escape. "Fortunately the train was not in motion," said her counsel, but she was very much injured, and had to be taken on to Enniskillen.
    Miss Dodwell was off work for a month and was awarded £150* damages at Derry City Assizes. (Irish Independent - Thursday 23 March 1905) *£14,000 - £24,000 depending on which inflation calculator you use.

    From eiretrains: Ballysadare, Co.Sligo, is located on the Midland Great Western Railway's Dublin to Sligo line, and is the last station before Sligo itself. The station opened with the line in 1862, but closed to passengers in 1963 and to goods in 1975. The station had two platforms, but the up platform and signal cabin have been demolished since the track upgrading. The derelict station buildings and goods shed are on the down side. Until the late 1950s, Ballysadare Station was shared between CIE and the Sligo Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway, who operated trains to and from Sligo and Enniskillen. The line from Ballysadare to Sligo was worked as double track until 1959 when the SLNCR line closed, and was lifted soon after. At the north end of the station there as a long siding which diverged through a short rocky cutting into Ballysadare Flour Mill, but was lifted in the late 1960s.
