Nemom Railway Station (Code:NEM) (Malayalam: നേമം) is a railway station in Thiruvananthapuram in the state of Kerala, India.[1]
Nemom is in the Thiruvananthapuram Railway division of the Southern Railway zone of Indian Railways. It was established on 1979 and acts as a satellite station for trains connecting the city to southern parts of the state.

Indian Railways have finalized a proposal for setting up an operating centre in Nemom, for trains starting from and terminating in Thiruvananthapuram Central. All the coach maintenance activities performed at the Thiruvananthapuram Central will be transferred to Nemom once the operating centre is commissioned.[2] They are setting up 10 pit lines for the maintenance of 30 trains, 12 stabling lines, sick lines and staff quarters at Nemom.[3][4]
The Ministry of Railways, in its budget for the fiscal year 2011-2012 announced to develop Nemom as the second satellite passenger terminual to Trivandrum Central. Trivandrum will thus become the first city in Kerala to have two satellite stations. Nemom will soon be developed as a full-fledged railway station with 5 platforms and will act as a terminus station for trains coming to Trivandrum from the Northern side, thereby reducing the rush/congestion in the Central railway station.
It is also proposed to lay one more track between Nemom and Kochuveli to ease the traffic in this corridor. This stretch will become the first in the state to have a three line service. [5]
