Kulukkallur railway station is a major railway station serving the village of Kulukkallur, near Pattambi in the Palakkad district of Kerala. It lies along the Nilambur–Shoranur railway line branch line of Palakkad division of the Southern Railways. Trains halting at the station connect the town to prominent cities in India such as Nilambur, Shoranur and Angadipuram.[1]

This station is 4 km from the town of Nilambur on the KozhikodeOoty highway. It is 40 kilometres (25 mi) away from Malappuram town.[2] Shoranur–Nilambur Road passenger trains are running on this route. It was decided on 17-02-1958 to construct a contractor operated Halt station at Kulukkallur between Vallapuzha and Cherukara Railway stations. [3]

Construction works are in progress for the second platform so as to upgrade Kulukkallur railway station as a crossing station.
