'''Pen railway station''' is a railway station on the [[Vasai Road–Roha line|Panvel–Roha route]] of [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]] in India. It is at a distance of 103.59 km from [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus]] via {{stnlnk|Diva Junction}}. Its station code is PEN. It belongs to the Mumbai division of Central Railway.<ref name="CentralRailway-20100401">{{cite web|url=http://www.cr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,6,1191,1192,1394,1397|title=Central Railway Mumbai Division System Map|date=2010-04-01|publisher=[[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]]|access-date=4 May 2013}}</ref>

The station is situated in [[Raigad district]] of [[Maharashtra]]. It is situated between {{stnlnk|Hamrapur}} and {{stnlnk|Kasu}} railway stations. Two [[MEMU]]s originate from here and terminate at {{stnlnk|Diva Junction}} and vice versa. In addition to this, MEMUs from {{stnlnk|Roha}} to Diva and vice versa halts here. Also, [[Dadar Central–Ratnagiri Passenger|Dadar–Ratnagiri Passenger]] and [[Sindhudurg Passenger|Diva–Sindhudurg Passenger]] also has a halt here. These trains are being utilized completely by the local people but still there is a long pending demand to start [[Electric multiple unit|Local trains]] on this route both slow and fast services, for the convenience of the passengers. It'll also facilitate office-goers who goes to [[South Mumbai|SoBo]] or [[Mumbai Suburban|Mumbai Suburbs]] on a regular basis.

There's a goods train's line bifurcating from main line and goes to a factory in [[Alibag]]. There's a recent plan to introduce passenger train services on this route, thereby reducing travel time of the office-goers as Pen has direct passenger train services to {{stnlnk|Thane}} and {{stnlnk|Dadar}}. At present one needs to take an ST (State Transport) bus to Pen and then take a train or ST bus to [[Panvel]], from where they can easily board the [[Electric multiple unit|Local trains]] to [[Mumbai]].<ref>{{cite web |title='Central Rly to be completely electrified' |url=http://www.asianage.com/metros/mumbai/121118/central-rly-to-be-completely-electrified.html |website=The Asian Age |access-date=8 March 2019 |date=12 November 2018}}</ref>
