Peralam Junction railway station is a railway junction station serving the village of Peralam in Tamil Nadu, India.
Background[edit]
The railway station became functional when the Peralam–Karaikal line was opened by Great South Indian Railway (which was later merged with South Indian Railway Company) on 14 March 1898.[1] The nearest bus services were available at Peralam town itself while the nearest airport is situated 90 kilometres (56 mi) away at Tiruchirappalli and the nearest port is Karaikal Port.
Lines[edit]
Three lines emerges from this junction station, of which one line proceeds north towards Mayiladuthurai Junction, the other line proceeds east and enters immediately into the Union Territory of Puducherry heading for Karaikal[2][3] and the other one proceeds southwards to Thiruvarur Junction.
