The Tinnevelly-Tiruchendur Railway was first proposed in 1908, to be a metre gauge(MG) line from Tinnevelly to the pilgrimage site at Tiruchendur [1].
The line was sanctioned for construction in July 1915 by the South Indian Railway(SIR) for the Tinnevelly District Board. The line was to run from Tinnevelly to Tiruchendur, a length of 38 miles (60km); the work that was in progress was "stopped owing to the abnormal conditions on account of the war." [2]
The MG line was finally opened in Feb 1923 as a metre gauge(MG) branch of the 'South Indian Railway'(SIR)[3]
At Tiruchendur there was an interchange the with the ‘Tiruchendur-Tissianvilai Light Railway’ which was an extension of the ‘Kulasekharapatnam Tissianvillai Light Railway’ - see separate page
