Sainagar Shirdi railway station (station code: SNSI) is a railway station in the city of Shirdi, Maharashtra state, India. Sainagar Shirdi is a railway terminus and belongs to Central Railways of Indian Railways. It is located at about 3 km from the Holy Temple of Shri Sai Baba Samadhi. Temple authority Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust runs free buses from the station to the Temple.

History
The -long Puntamba–Shirdi link, connecting the holy city of Shirdi to the Manmad–Daund branch line was completed in 2009. Work began in 2003. The new railway station, Sainagar Shirdi is well connected with many direct trains to different places. The Manmad–Puntamba-Sainagar Shirdi is a broad-gauge line which was electrified in 2011–12. Before this rail link pilgrims reached the town by road after alighting at Kopargaon, Nagarsol, Manmad and Nashik Road railway stations.

Passenger Facilities 

The station has two waiting halls one for Upper Class and one for General Class ticket holders. The waiting halls are very small and difficult to handle large number of passengers. Indian Railways have given a complete makeover with massive transformation to station under Railway's beautification and redevelopment initiative. The station, which falls under Solapur Division of Central Railway zone, has been beautified with paintings to walls and upgraded with various ultra modern facilities. Some of the newly introduced facilities and amenities include new Foot over Bridge (FOB), a new food plaza, lifts, new toilet, CCTV cameras, Wi-Fi Service, coach guidance system, train watering facility at second platform along with tree plantation.

The station doesn't have cloakrooms and any kind of book stalls. The railway track ends at Shirdi railway station and no train leaves further which makes difficult to catch other trains if one misses the train.

Food facilities 

An IRCTC food canteen is present in the first platform of the station. This provides both in house sitting and parcel services. Snacks are sold by other vendors.
