The expression itself is kinda weird. Is this supposed to mean: Will the way I'm on bring me to the railway station? _________________ I find your Lack of Faith disturbing!

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?" _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

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