[[File: Villupuram-Nellore Railway.png|thumb| Villupuram-Nellore Railway ]]
The '''Villupuram-Nellore Railway''' is referred to in some documents but was a route and not a railway as such


The route from [[Villupuram]] to [[Nellore]] was a metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) track of  miles(133km). The route from [[Villupuram]] was via [[Katpadi]], [[Pakala]], [[Rirupati]], [Renigunta]] and [[Gudur]] and on to Nellore [Renigunta]], [[Gudur]] to [[Nellor]] was worked by [[South Indian Railway]](SIR) as a north-south route avoiding [[Madras]].
The line comprised a number of sections:-
* The 'Villipuram-Katpadi Section' was part of the '[[Villupuram-Guntakal State Railway]]'. This was a State Railway from  [[Villupuram]] and opened in stages from Nov 1890,  reaching [[Katpadi]] in Mar 1891<ref name=Admin139>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n148/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 139 (pdf148)]; Retrieved  4 Feb 2018</ref>. The operation of this Section remained  part of the SIR network after re-organisation on 1 Jan 1908 ''(see below)''.
* The 'Katpadi-Pakala' Section' continued northward from [[Katpadi]] reaching  [[Pakala]] in Mar 1891 <ref name=Admin 86>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n95/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 86 (pdf95)]; Retrieved  4 Feb 2018</ref>. The operation of this Section was transferred from SIR to  the newly formed '[[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]'(M&SMR) after 1 Jan 1908 ''(see below)''.
* The 'Pakala-Gudur' Section'. The line from [[Pakala]] to [[Tirupatar]] opened in 1891 where it joined the [[Tirupatar]] - Renigunta- [[Gudur]] line that had been opened in 1887<ref name=Admin 86>
* The 'Gudur-Nelore' Section'
On 1 Jan 1908 the Government  re-allocated a number of lines.  The newly formed '[[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]'(M&SMR) was given the lines north of [[Katpadi]] which had previously been worked by the SIR.
<br>As a consequence the ‘Villupuram-Guntakal State Railway’ ceased to exist and the line divided:-
*The section from [[Villupuram]] to [[Katpadi]] retained by SIR and became the ‘[[Villupuram-Katpadi Railway Section]]’ of the SIR  metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) system.
*The section from  [[Katpadi]] to  [[Guntakal]] was transferred to M&SMR to become their ‘Kalpadi-Dharmavaram Branch’ and part of their ‘Guntakal-Mysore Frontier Branch’
