These signs come from Talyllyn railway station which became an important railway junction in the 1860s. They stood where passengers crossed the railway lines for the south and east bound platforms. Their purpose was to indicate which platform a train would leave from as well as the main stations on the route. Daw’r arwyddion hyn o orsaf rheilffordd Tal-y-llyn a ddaeth yn gyffordd reilffordd bwysig yn ystod y 1860au. Roeddent yn sefyll lle’r oedd teithwyr yn croesi llinellau’r rheilffordd ar gyfer y platfformau tua’r de a’r dwyrain. Eu pwrpas oedd nodi o ba blatfform y byddai trên yn gadael yn ogystal â’r prif orsafoedd ar y llwybr.
