Thanjavur Junction railway station is located in Thanjavur district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and serves Thanjavur, earlier known as Tanjore

History

Thanjavur is located on the "main line" of the railway system in the Coromandel coast connecting Chennai with Tiruchchirappalli via Villupuram, Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai (Mayavaram) and Thanjavur junctions.[1]

In 1861 the Great Southern Railway of India built the {{convert|125|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long {{RailGauge|1676mm}} wide broad gauge line between Nagapatnam and Tiruchirapalli (then known as Trichinopoly) and the line was opened to traffic next year.[2] It was a new development south of Chennai. After taking over of GSIR by South Indian Railway Company in 1874, the Nagapatnam-Tiruchirapalli line was converted to {{RailGauge|1000mm}} wide metre gauge in 1875.[3]

The South India Railway Company laid a {{convert|715|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long metre gauge trunk line from Chennai to Tuticorin via Mayiladuthurai Kumbakonam and Thanjavur in 1880.[4] The {{convert|82.67|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long Tindivanam -Cuddalore Port (then known as Cuddalore Junction) sector, {{convert|27.60|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long Cuddalore Port-Porto Novo sector, {{convert|19.71|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long Shyali-Mayiladuturai sector and {{convert|70.42|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long Mayiladuturai-Thanjavur sector were opened in 1877, thereby connecting Tindivanam to the already opened Tiruchirappalli-Nagapattinam line.

Three rail lines branch for Thanjavur Junction:

  1. Towards north for {{rws|Mayiladuthurai Junction}}.
  2. Towards east for {{rws|Nidamangalam Junction}}.
  3. Towards west for {{rws|Tiruchirappalli Junction}}.

Gauge conversion

The Cuddalore Port-Vadalur sector was converted in 2003.[5] After conversion work of the Thanjavur-Tiruvarur broad gauge section was opened to traffic in 2006 and Tiruvarur-Nagore section in 2010.[6]

Electrification

New electrification survey in 2012-13 had been sanctioned in the Railway budget for the Karaikkal/Karaikkal port-Thiruvarur-Thanjavur-Tiruchchirappalli and Nagapattinam-Velankanni sectors.[7]
