'Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Workshops' heading added
It was the last [[Guaranteed Railways|guaranteed railway]] to fall to Government of India ([[Government of India |GoI]]) ownership (31 December 1907).
In 1908, the northern portion (ie the north east, north west and [[Bangalore]] branches) was merged with the [[Southern Mahratta Railway]](SMR) to form the '''[[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]'''(M&SMR). The southern section of line ([[Jalarpet]] to [[Mangalore]]) became part of the [[South Indian Railway]](SIR).
The [[Government of India |GoI]] took over the management of the M&SMR on 1 April 1944.
On 14 April 1951, M&SMR together with SIR and MSR became [[Southern Railway]], a zone of [[Indian Railways]].
==Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Workshops==
The [[Madras Railway - Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Workshops]] was moved from Madras, established in [[Perambur]] in 1863 and progressively extended. In 1901 a major expansion commenced by the Deputy Locomotive Superintendent Mr [[A Pilkington]] under the orders of Mr [[C E Phillips]], Locomotive Superintendent at that time. These workshops became the M&SMR workshops in 1908.
==Railways absorbed into MR==
