The Tinnevelly-Quilon Railway (TQR) was a metre gauge(MG) railway divided into a British section (a state line worked by a company) and a section owned and worked by the Princely Travancore State

The British Section from Tinnevelly to Kallidaikurichi, 19 miles(30km) opened in 1902 and extended to the British Frontier near Shencottah, a further 31 miles(50km) in 1908. The line was worked by South Indian Railway(SIR). [1]

The Native (Indian) State Section from Quillon to Punalur, 28 miles(44km) opened in June 1904 and extended to the Travancore State frontier near Shencottah, a further 30 miles(48km) later that year. This section is also known as Travancore Railway[1]
