 The station used in the opening sequence and during the scene where  John Wayne (I) (qv) slams the train doors looking for Maureen  OHara (qv) later in the film is Ballyglunin Station, south of the  town of Tuam, County Galway. It looks the same today as it did in  1951, when the film was shot with the only major difference being  the bridge which crosses the railway tracks is now gone. This bridge  was moved to Ballinasloe station, East Galway where it still stands  today, after Ballyglunin closed down as a main line.
