The Blacksod Bay Railway Terminus was a proposed railway terminus intended to have been constructed at the southernmost tip of the Mullet Peninsula, in Blacksod in County Mayo, Ireland in the first decades of the twentieth century. The large building was intended to serve as the main railway terminus for a proposed trans-atlantic ocean liner terminal that (if realised) would have collected passengers from the isolated peninsula and competed with the Port of Liverpool in England as the main embarkation point for North American-bound passengers. The catchment area for passengers was expected to include not only Ireland, but also Britain and Scandinavia too. Read more on Wikipedia
