Ballynoe railway station was on the Downpatrick, Killough and Ardglass Railway, which ran from Downpatrick to Ardglass in County Down, Northern Ireland. The station building, signal box, and goods shed remain standing and have been converted to private ownership. The original brickwork and structure are mostly preserved, though the signal box requires urgent repairs. The platforms and their canopies are no longer present, but traces of the platform edge can still be seen in some areas.
