→Railways amalgamated to form SIR: 'Villupuram-Katpadi Railway Section' replacing previous link
**[[Palghat Branch Line]]. Palakkad Junction(Olavakode) to [[Palghat]]. Constructed, owned and worked by MR up to 31 Dec 1907, then transferred to SIR. Opened 1888, 2.5 miles(4km)
At this time the metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) lines north of [[Katpadi]] were relinquished and became part of the newly formed '[[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]'. SIR only retained the [[Villupuram-Katpadi Extension RailwaySection]]
Following these amalgamations the SIR network was classified as the 'Metre Gauge' and the 'Broad Gauge' Divisions
