The further expansion of Balbriggan as an industrial town was guaranteed with the opening, in 1844, of the Dublin to Drogheda railway. The railway which had been started six years earlier in 1838, passed through the town, and opened up more direct contact with other commercial centres. The railway continues to play a very important role in the life of Balbriggan, taking a large commuting population to work north and south each day.
