The Trivellore Light Railway was a private, unassisted railway owned and worked by Namberumal Chetty and Sons. The line was a 2ft/610mm narrow gauge(NG) with a length of 2 miles(3km) [1]
The Company was a major construction business and had acquired the smalll private railway company, which ran a feeder line to the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway(M&SMR) from Trivellore Station. [2]
This two-mile tramway from Trivellore station to the local temple was authorised in 1904 and appears to have operated until 1939 with two (possibly three) locomotives but no further information is available[3]
