The Railway Inn is in the village of Coed-talon on the A5104 between Treuddyn and Pontybodkin. There's no longer a railway there of course.

Railway Inn, Coedtalon

The village was served by a branch of the London and North Western Railway, who in 1892 introduced a passenger service to Coed Talon, but the station closed in 1950. The Railway Inn remains as a reminder of those days.
