It is from . Unlike most places on the line, the station was built for tourist traffic, for visitors to the local Dolgoch Falls. To the west of the station, there is three-span brick viaduct that carries the railway over the Dolgoch Ravine. This is the largest engineering structure on the railway; it is high. It is also a grade II listed structure. The railway passes through rock cuttings either side of the viaduct. This is an important stopping point, despite the lack of significant passenger facilities, because all steam trains take water here on the "up" (eastwards) journey, from one of the two "up" tanks; it is important on the "down" (westwards) journey because all passengers have their tickets checked here on the down journey.

''Dolgoch'' holds an important place in railway preservation history as it was the only serviceable locomotive on the Talyllyn Railway when it became the first preserved railway to be operated by volunteers, in 1951. ''Dolgoch'' kept the railway going during this first season. Design The design is unusual for an 0-4-0. It has a long wheelbase and the driving axle is behind the firebox in a layout similar to a Crampton locomotive. This prevents the use of a conventional valve gear layout which is driven from the rear axle.
