Mangalore Junction railway station is a gateway to the port city of Mangalore located at Darbar Hill, Padil, Mangalore, 575007, coming under the Palakkad Division of Southern Railway.[3] The station is a junction interconnecting Mangalore Central railway station with Kerala in the south, Maharashtra/Goa and Mangalore Sea Port in the north and Bangalore-Chennai in the east. It is the busiest railway junction in the area, as all north- and southbound trains touch Mangalore through this station.
It was formerly called Kankanadi railway station when the city railway station was simply called Mangalore railway station. Later both were renamed as Mangalore Junction and Mangalore Central respectively to avoid confusion.
This is the first station in the Southern Railway zone after the Konkan Railway zone which ends at Thokur, the previous station up north. Most trains stop here (scheduled and unscheduled stops) for change of TTEs and crew and other tasks like water refilling. Historically Mangalore was a terminus station, with trains terminating at the old Mangalore Central station. With Mangalore now connected to the North of India via the Konkan Railway and east to Bangalore via Hassan on the South Western Railway, Mangalore has become a transit point for trains originating from North India and points east, Mysore and Bangalore and with final destinations in Kerala. Those trains which do not terminate at Mangalore city, halt at Mangalore Junction station on their onward journey. The track network in the Mangalore area has been laid out in a triangular pattern, with Mangalore Junction, Mangalore Central and the Netravati River Railway Bridge at the vertices of the triangle. This precludes trains transiting through Mangalore from using the Mangalore Central railway station. Since the number of trains transiting through Mangalore is more than train traffic that terminates at Mangalore, Mangalore Junction sees higher train traffic than its counterpart the Mangalore Central station, which still retains its role as a terminus for almost every train terminating or originating from the city of Mangalore.
The railways wish to develop Mangalore Junction to a world-class station on the 60 acres of land, owned by the railways, that adjoins the station. [4]
