Edamann railway station (code: EDN) is a railway station on Kollam–Sengottai branch line connecting Kollam district in Kerala with Tamil Nadu.[2] Edamann railway station falls under the Madurai railway division of the Southern Railway zone of Indian Railways. It is an 'E-Class' railway station, currently acting as the terminal station for trains running on Kollam–Sengottai railway line due to ongoing gauge conversion works between Edamann and Bhagavathipuram railway stations on the rail stretch.[3][4]

The station was remaining unused till 2017 mid due to gauge conversion works between Punalur and Edamon, announced by Indian Railways on 2012–13 budget.[5][6] In 2017, services on Kollam–Edamon stretch resumed. Indian railway is connecting Edamon with various cities in India including Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kottayam & with various towns like Punalur, Paravur, Kayamkulam, Karunagappalli, Varkala, Tiruvalla and Changanassery.
