Kaliyaganj railway station is an Indian train station which serves Kaliaganj in Uttar Dinajpur district, West Bengal.
History was connected to Parbatipur, now in Bangladesh, in 1889, by Assam Behar State Railway.
With the partition of India, links with East Pakistan were lost. The Barsoi–Radhikapur sector became a branch line. In the early 1960s, when Farakka Barrage was being constructed, a more radical change was made. Indian Railways created a new broad-gauge rail link from Calcutta.
The -long Farakka Barrage carries a rail-cum-road bridge across the Ganges. The rail bridge was opened in 1971 thereby linking the Barharwa–Azimganj–Katwa loop to Mala Town, and other railway stations in North Bengal.
Platforms There are a total of 2 platforms and 3 tracks. The platforms are connected by two foot overbridge.

Improvements In 2006, the Barsoi–Radhikapur branch line had a meter gauge line which was replaced broad gauge line. In 2023 the electrification of this line was completed. It is a single electric-line. In 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. According to the scheme, the Ministry of Railways will redevelop railway stations across the country. It has been decided to transform 1309 stations to enhance the overall passenger experience including Kaliyaganj.
