The line linked the SIR network in India with the Island of [[Rameswaram]], [[Ceylon]]. Also described as the '''Madura-Pamban Railway''' in some records.
It involved the construction of the '''Pamban Viaduct''' across the submerged reef lying between the mainland of India and the Island of Rameswaram.
