WATCH: Mullingar station's signal box closes in 2005

Sixteen years ago this week, RTÉ's Ciaran Mullooly reported on the closure of the signal box at Mullingar Train Station.

The Dublin to Sligo train was the last one in the country to switch to the new digital system adopted by Irish Rail.

Mullingar signalman Paddy Begley and his colleague Seán Casey spoke to RTÉ about the changes that took place at the station over the years.
