Saltney Ferry (Mold Junction) railway station was located on the western edge of the village of Saltney, Flintshire (now effectively a suburb of Chester).
Although technically on the North Wales Line the station was, for all practical purposes, on the Chester to Denbigh branch line as trains from the station generally only used the smaller line. The station however would have been busy with railway workers as the Mold Junction Motive power depot and employee cottages was right next to it.[3] The station closed on 30 April 1962 and nothing of it remains, although the depot is still there.
