A view of Thanjavur Jn from my hotel. The lines to the far end of the station lead to Tiruchirapalli Jn while the other end leads to Kumbakkonam, at present. This was a junction as MG lines used to branch off to Tiruvarur/Nagapattinam and Kumbakkonam. Now the route to Kumbakkonam is BG while the other branch is being converted. Soon the 'Jn' status will be reclaimed. I stayed in Hotel Oriental Towers on the 8th floor and recommend this highly to railfans for the brilliant view!. Thanjavur Jn, 2005-01-29. By Gautam.
