Gaerwen railway station was situated on the North Wales Coast Line, serving as the junction for the Anglesey Central Railway line to Amlwch. The station closed to passengers in 1966[citation needed], but the adjoining freight yard remained open for coal and fertiliser traffic for some years afterward[1] before it also closed.
