Yes there was. The line was closed to passenger traffic some years ago. Incidentally Royapuram - Walajah Road - Arcot was the first railway line to be opened in South India on 1st July 1856. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 16 04:40:23 +0000 |

In 1931 too, as it is today, services ran only upto Agastiyampalli. Or was the line to Koddikarai (Point Calimere) constructed at a later date? Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 16 04:35:59 +0000 |

There is only one Express train at night time. Compare with today's traffic with innumerable halts for crossings on a single line at night. And what does D.S.Y. stand for? Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 16 04:34:11 +0000 |

A classic! Look at the mighty Vaigai's run - an hour faster than the next fastest train. The BG Vaigai takes exactly the same time from MS to VM. Posted by Mani Vijay on 2009 Nov 14 22:01:45 +0000 |
The entire Punalur - Shencottah section is marked as a Ghat section. Were bankers used in this entire section during steam days?
