The expression itself is kinda weird.
Is this supposed to mean:
Will the way I'm on bring me to the railway station?

I would say this is a rather clumsily worded question, which would be clearer like this:
"Is this the _____ way for the railway station?"
For 'way', you could substitute, 'road', 'route' or 'path'.
'Right' would be most English speaker's first option, but I have also heard 'correct' used informally too, as in "Did I take the correct path?"

| Meaning of 'I shall now have to take the matter further' | What is the difference between "like" and "as"? |
