The station is a part of the Tiruchirappalli railway division of the Southern Railway Zone and connects the city to various parts of the state as well as the rest of the country. The station was declared as cleanest railway station in Tamil Nadu and ranked fifth best in the national level in 2016. It is classified as an "A" category railway station{{what|date=March 2019}} in the Trichy railway division of the Southern Railway Zone. It is one of the busiest and top revenue generating stations of the Southern Railway zone. The shradha sethu express connected Kumbakonam to Ayodhya. The world famous Mahamaham tank is 3 km from the railway station. HistoryThe Kumbakonam station opened to passenger service on 15 February 1877, when the then South Indian Railway commenced rail traffic between Thanjavur and Mayavaram (now Mayiladuthurai) for a distance of 70.42 km.{{cn|date=February 2019}} Swami Vivekananda on a yatra from Rameswaram alighted at Kumbakonam station on January 26, 1897, and it was on that day in Kumbakonam that he gave his clarion call ‘Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached’ to spur the people of the nation. A grand plaque installed by the Railways in the station proclaims the importance of the event. DevelopmentAfter serving the railways for decades, the British era vintage metre-gauge line was scrapped and the last passenger train on those tracks was operated between Kumbakonam and Chennai Egmore on 1 April 2004 following which the broad gauge tracks were laid. Gradually, the station came to have several facilities, including water filling for coaches and steam engines to enjoy the status of an important junction. Kumbakonam station developed remarkably, courtesy, the works implemented ahead of the Mahamaham festival in 2004. Now, a total of 36 trains patronise the station every day serving more than 5,000 passengers.{{fact|date=March 2019}} Due to the strong patronage by the region's passengers and commuters, Kumbakonam has enjoyed ‘Grade A’ railway station status. Kumbakonam station is also rated as the fifth cleanest station in India and the cleanest station in Tamil Nadu, according to the survey of major railway stations for cleanliness ranking in 2016 commissioned by the Railways.
