The Red Wharf Bay branch line was a standard gauge railway line in Anglesey, Wales, a branch off the Anglesey Central Railway. It opened fully in 1909, but closed to passengers in September 1930.[1] Freight operations continued until 3 April 1950, and the tracks were lifted during the summer of 1953.[2]
