'''Naliya Cantonment railway station''' is a small railway station in [[Kutch district]], [[Gujarat]]. Its code is '''NLC'''. It serves [[Naliya Air Force Station]], 6 km south of [[Naliya]] village. The station consists of 1 platform. It is next to last station on western side of India, the last being [[Naliya railway station]].

Naliya Cantonment had a [[metre-gauge railway]] line laid in 1980 to get connected with the town of [[Bhuj]]. The line was abandoned later since [[Gandhidham–Bhuj section]] got converted to broad gauge and this 101.24 km line became isolated. Recently, conversion to broad gauge has been approved by the Government of India in June 2016, so that it can be used for public, military or freight purpose.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://indiarailinfo.com/station/blog/naliya-nly/8783| title=NLY/Naliya| website=India Rail Info}}</ref><ref name="dnaindia">{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/money/report-suresh-prabhu-lays-foundation-stone-for-8-rail-projects-in-gujarat-2221005|website=DNA India|title=Suresh Prabhu lays foundation stone for 8 rail projects in Gujarat|access-date=2019-12-23}}</ref><ref name="indianexpress">{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/surge-by-300-per-cent-in-allocation-for-gujarat-railways-in-2-years-says-suresh-prabhu-narendra-modi-government-2840340/|title=Surge by 300 per cent in allocation for Gujarat railways in 2 years, says Suresh Prabhu | India News|work=The Indian Express|access-date=2019-12-23}}</ref><ref name="indianexpress2">{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/rs-17073-crore-worth-railway-projects-in-progress-in-state-2943554/|title=Rs 17,073 crore worth Railway projects in progress in state | Cities News|work=The Indian Express|access-date=2019-12-23}}</ref><ref name="deshgujarat">{{cite web|url=http://deshgujarat.com/2008/10/16/bhuj-naliya-broad-gauge-rail-line-sanctioned/|title=Bhuj–Naliya broad gauge rail line sanctioned|website=DeshGujarat|access-date=2019-12-23}}</ref> In 2018 the railway section between Bhuj and [[Deshalpur]] village (28 km) was commissioned, remaining under gauge conversion Deshalpur–Naliya section (74 km).
