The '''Motumarri–Vishnupuram section''' is a railway section of the [[Indian Railways]]. The section falls under the administered of both [[Guntur railway division|Guntur]] and [[Secunderabad railway division]]s of [[South Central Railway zone]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The project connects [[New Delhi–Chennai main line|Delhi–Chennai main line]] at Motumarri railway station of [[Khammam district]] and [[Nallapadu-Pagidipalli section]] at Vishnupuram railway station of [[Nalgonda district]] in the [[Indian state]] of [[Telangana]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/scr-general-manager-seeks-to-know-commuter-problems/article2931111.ece|title=SCR General Manager seeks to know commuter problems|date=2012-02-25|newspaper=The Hindu|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-05-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/new-railway-lines-in-nalgonda-by-march/article1868722.ece|title=New railway lines in Nalgonda by March|date=2007-07-08|newspaper=The Hindu|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-05-04}}</ref> The section passes through the stations of [[Jaggayyapet]], [[Mellacheruvu]] and [[Janpahad]].<ref>{{cite news|title=CM to open new rail line on Friday|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/article518685.ece?service=print|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602005912/http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/article518685.ece?service=print|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 June 2016|access-date=4 May 2016|work=The New Indian Express|date=4 May 2012|location=Hyderabad}}</ref> The route has been opened for goods traffic at present.<br />
<br />
Further, the route can be used as a loop line in case of emergency and any problem that arises between Khammam and Secunderabad line.<br />
<br />
Another key factor of the Motamarri–Vishnupuram line is the distance between Vijayawada to Secunderabad will be reduced by 60&nbsp;km if some passenger trains ply this route.<ref>[https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/280419/khammam-new-rail-line-ready-set-to-reduce-60-km.html deccanchronicle.com], Retrieved 27 July 2017</ref><br />
<br />
The journey duration between the two cities will be reduced to one-and-a-half hours. Some passenger trains running from Kolkata and Visakhapatnam can be diverted to this route.<br />
<br />
The section was completed in the year 2019.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/280419/khammam-new-rail-line-ready-set-to-reduce-60-km.html | title=Khammam: New rail line ready, set to reduce 60 km | date=28 April 2019 }}</ref><br />
