Kalyan Jn……
Kalyan is the most important rail head after Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in the Central Railway`s Mumbai Division. The station caters to the twin cities of Kalyan-Dombivali in the Thane Dt of Maharashtra. Kalyan is a very popular cultural centre and its sibling Dombivali is the second literate city in India after Kottayam in Kerala.
Kalyan can literally be called as the gateway to Mumbai.
PLATFORMS:-

.
Kalyan has 8 platforms though only 7 are numbered and one is numbered as 1A.
The platform caters to the trains as below.
PF 1 – slow local( EMU ) trains starting from Kalyan towards CST side and sometimes caters to long distance trains bound towards Igatpuri though this is a very rare occurance.
PF 1A- slow local trains from KYN towards CSTM and usually used when Pf 1 is occupied.
PF 2- slow locals towards both the Kasara as well as the Karjat sides.
PF 3- slow locals coming from KSRA and KJT side bound to CSTM.
PF4- fast locals towards both the Kasara as well as the Karjat sides and outstation trains bound to IGP side.
PF 5- fast locals towards CSTM side and also outstation train towards CSTM side as well as towards Pune side.
PF 6- occasionally used PF. Used for trains which are bound for Vasai Rd or Panvel side and also the terminal point for 15 car EMU of CR.
PF 7- fast/slow locals from KJT side and outstation trains towards CST coming from KJT side.
.
Kalyan has a loco shed for both electric and diesel locomotives. The sheds are located in the extreme side of KYN in the goods yard. KYN also has a trip shed for AC locomotives.
The shed has homed the maximum variety of loco right from WCM 1 to the most powerful WAG 9H. the locos homed by KYN shed are
WCM 1…….Extinct
WCM 2…….extinct
WCM 3…….extinct
WCM 4…….extinct
WCM 5…….extinct
WCM 6……converted into WAG 5 by BSL shed.
WCP 1......extinct
WCP 2.......extinct
WCG 1……..extinct
WCG 2……..extinct
WAG 5
WAG 7
WAG 9
WCAM 2/2p
WCAM 3
WCAG 1
WDM 2
WDM 3A
WDG 3A
WDM 3D
WDG 4.
.
Kalyan is also set to receive WAP4 and WAP 7 from CLW once the Mumbai region is energised with AC traction. Currently the KYN station has DC traction 1.5 KV and the yard is energised with AC traction and so is the 5th and 6th line from KYN till Diva JN.the neutral zone for the traction change from DC to AC happens about 0.5 km after the station towards both the KJT side and KSRA side. The stretch from KYN to TNA and the 5th and 6th line from TNA to LTT was to be converted from DC to AC by May end but sadly it hasn’t happened till now . with this conversion LTT would be powered by AC traction thus facilitating the entry of AC locomotives right upto LTT thereby eliminating the need for a loco change at Igatpuri. LTT-Haridwar AC exp, LTT-HWH Jnaneshwari/Samarasta exp, LTT-GKP SF exp are the LTT bound trains which have a great chance of getting a WAP series loco

KYN will be receiving WAP 7............but after ACfication KYN will need atleast 20 WAP 7 immediately for despatching......also these WAPs wont be available as easily as WCAMs since they hardly venture out of IGP whereas WAPs will be going as far as ASR or HWH

retrofitted pure ac emus painted in lhb rajdhani livery will spoil the uniform livery of subarban trains. after retrofitment they are supposed to be painted in usual maroon and yellow livery which looks much better.
