Manmad Junction railway station is a central junction railway station currently serving Manmad, Nashik, Maharashtra, in India.

The first train in India travelled from Mumbai to Thane on April 16th, 1853. By May 1854, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway's Mumbai-Thane line was extended to the Kalyan railway station. Bhusawal was built in 1860, but was not open for traffic until the mid-1860s. The line was extended to Khandwa in 1866 and to Nagpur in 1867. Based on the number of bookings, the Manmad railway station is among the top one hundred stations of the Indian Railway.

The Central Engineering Workshop located at Manmad has two wings. The fabrication of girder bridges is carried out in the structural yard. Other manufacturing activities are carried out in the general yard.

The railways in the Niphad-Manmad-Nandagaon sector were changed from locomotive to electric in a process accomplished between 1968 to 1969. Manmad has an electric locomotive trip shed to supply and control the trains.
