Kalyan Junction is a major railway junction station on the central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network, lying at the junction of the north-east and south-east lines of the suburban Mumbai division of the Central Railway, 54 km (34 mi) north-east of Mumbai. It comes under top 10 busiest railway stations in India. Kalyan Junction is an important stop for all the trains. Nagpur Duronto and Deccan Queen are the two trains that do not stop at Kalyan.

Kalyan junction will get 6 new platforms under yard remodeling project. The land for this project is available in railway goods yard on eastern side of railway station. This project will ensure separation of suburban and local train operations.

One of the oldest and important railway project of Ahmednagar railway station was Kalyan-Ahmednagar railway project which was in planning stage since british regime. It was referred as 3rd ghat project. The survey of this project was carried out in 1973, 2000, 2006, 2014 etc. This project was in pink book in 2010. This project could not be started. The alignment length of thus project was 184 km and it could have been shortest route for Marathwada, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The major challenge for this project is 18.96 km long tunnel Malshej ghat section.^[1] Malshej Kriti samiti is following for Kalyan-Ahmednagar railway project. Kalyan-Murbad section which is first phase of this project is already under survey stage.^[2]

Towards Kasara and Khopoli, Kalyan Junction is the last station at which fast services stop i.e. all services running from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to Kasara or Khopoli start halting at all stops beyond Kalyan. The same is true for when the trains are running towards C.S.M.T., with Kalyan being the first fast stop.
