Abercarn railway station served the village of Abercarn, in the county of Monmouthshire. Opened by the Monmouthshire Railway, it became part of the Great Western Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was closed by the British Transport Commission.

The site today

Trains on the re-opened Ebbw Valley Railway pass the site between Cross Keys and Newbridge stations. There is no station at Abercarn now, although the site was one of those considered at the project's planning stage.[1]
