== History ==
As early as 1886, a plan to link [[Pudukkottai]] by rail with [[Trichy]] and other places was mooted. But as the princely state of Pudukkottai was ruled by a king while most other parts of South India were under the British, protracted negotiations between these two authorities took place, specially with regard to the cost-bearing of the proposed railway line. Later, in 1921, a traffic-survey of the proposed [[Tiruchirapalli]]- [[Pudukkottai]]- [[Karaikudi]]- line was prepared by Rao Sahib S. Krishnamachari of South Indian Railways (SIR). It was estimated that the cost of construction of the railway line would work out to Rs 1.32 lakhs per mile. After a brief period of construction, the [[Trichy]]- [[Pudukkottai]] line was inaugurated on 17 April 1929 and [[Pudukkottai]]- [[Manamadurai]] line on 1 July 1930.<ref>http://nmma.nic.in/nmma/GlbSearch.do?method=SearchviewApproval&sheetcode=TN22003707</ref>

== Location and layout ==
[[File:Pudukkottai Railway station.JPG|300px|thumb|right|Pudukkottai railway station as seen from foot overbridge]]
The railway station is located about {{convert|2.1|km}} from the new bus stand. It is not easily accessible as it is located far away from the main town. It can be accessed through a cab or an auto.

Before the gauge conversion, the station had only 3 tracks. Now an additional fourth track has been constructed for handling goods trains. As it is a passing station, there are no pitlines available. There is also a considerable amount of space available for the extension of the railway station in future.

== Services ==
All the trains bound to [[Karaikkudi]], [[Manamadurai]] and few trains bound to [[Rameswaram]] and [[Kanyakumari]] from [[Chennai Egmore]] and [[Tiruchirappalli]] pass through this station. All the trains have a stoppage here for a minimum of 1–2 minutes.
