Trevor railway station was formerly a station on the

Ruabon to Barmouth Line in north-east Wales. The line was double track between Ruabon and Llangollen
and there was a signal box at Trevor.

According to the Official Handbook of Stations the station handled both goods and passenger traffic in 1956 and the goods yard was equipped with a 3-ton crane.[2]

There were also private sidings from the neighbourbood of the station to the firebrick works in the middle of the village (via a level crossing), and to the Cefn Mawr Monsanto works. The latter also connected to the

Rhos Branch
eventually rejoined the main line on the outskirts of Wrexham.
