South Indian Railway

Podanur was located 4 miles to the southeast of Coimbatore and is now a suburb of that city.

Podanur Railway Junction was established by the Madras Railway Company in 1863.[1]

"It was the coming of the South Indian Railway towards the end of the 19th century that brought about the magical transformation. Podanur, because of its central location, between Madras to Cochin, Mangalore, Ooty-down to the southern parts of the then Madras Presidency, became the second important centre of the Southern Railway system, Madras being the headquarters. Podanur had the vital Railway Workshop, till 1940... Anyhow the sudden rise and sudden fall of Podanur was mainly due to the Railway workshop’s presence!. From 1935 its importance began to decrease when the main Railway workshop was shifted to Golden Rock Trichy and just as a consolation prize the S.T. Section was left behind!"[2]
