Trew and Moy railway station was a railway station in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The station was near Trew Mount, over 2 miles (3 kilometres) north of Moy.

History

The station was opened in 1858 by the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, which the Great Northern Railway (GNR) took over in 1876. Trew and Moy was served by GNR passenger trains between Belfast Great Victoria Street and Londonderry Foyle Road via Portadown. The station became important in the export of horses from Moy's annual week-long horse fair. The Ulster Transport Authority took over the GNR's remaining lines in Northern Ireland in 1958 and closed the PD&O line on 15 February 1965.

The former station is now a mushroom distribution business. The main station building, which was on the south side of the station beside the down platform, is now offices, and the former goods shed is a staff facility. A lower quadrant stop signal, a lower quadrant distant signal and a shunting signal have been relocated to a garden beside the station, along with a wooden shelter from the up platform that has been relocated as a summer house.
