The later railway extensions to Donegal by the West Donegal Railway and via Fintown railway station to Glenties by the Donegal Railway Company.

Stranorlar became the headquarters of the successor company, the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee.

It closed to passenger services on 31 December 1959. Goods trains continued to run between Stranorlar and Strabane until 6 February 1960
