Madras-Tuticorin Mainline

The 'Madras-Tuticorin Mainline' is the name of the South Indian Railway(SIR) metre gauge(MG) Mainline connecting Madras to the Pamban Branch Railway with a length of 460 miles(km). Included in the line is the Tuticorin Branch Line to Tuticorin, a further 99 miles.

The origin of part of this line goes back to the Great Southern of India Railway with the construction of a broad gauge(BG) line from Negapatam to Tuticorin via Tanjore and Madura.




The following is based on the “Administration Report on Railways 1918”[1] and the "Marvels of the South Indian Railway 1859-1951"[2].
