→History: 'Katpadi Branch Line' info added
On 1 Jan 1908 the Government re-allocated a number of lines. The newly formed '[[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]'(M&SMR) was given the lines north of [[Katpadi]] which had been worked by the SIR. As a consequence the ‘Villupuram-Guntakal State Railway’ ceased to exist and the line divided:-
*The section from [[Villupuram]] to [[Katpadi]] retained by SIR and became the '''[[Villupuram-Katpadi Railway Section]]''' of the SIR metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) system. lLater to become the'Katpadi Branch Line', a branch from the SIR ‘[[Madras-Tuticorin Mainline]]’
*The section from [[Katpadi]] to [[Guntakal]] was transferred to M&SMR to become their ‘Kalpadi-Dharmavaram Branch’ and part of their ‘Guntakal-Mysore Frontier Branch’
