TheDuvvada–Vijayawada section (also known as Visakhapatnam–Vijayawada line) is a railway line connectingDuvvada in the city ofVisakhapatnam andVijayawada, both in the Indian state ofAndhra Pradesh.[1] The main line is part of theHowrah–Chennai main line.[2][3] The track fromDuvvada toThadi is under the administrative jurisdiction ofEast Coast Railway zone, and the rest of the line fromAnakapalle toVijayawada is under the administrative jurisdiction ofSouth Central Railway zone.

History

[edit]

Some years before passenger railways started functioning in India railway lines were laid for carrying construction materials. Amongst these were a line used for construction of the Solani aqueduct over the Ganges Canal nearRoorkee in the 1830s, the Red Hill Railroad in 1837 used for construction of a canal nearChennai, and the Godavari Dam Construction Railway used for transporting materials for the construction of the Dowlaisweram Anicut atRajahmundry around 1845. The project was completed in 1852 and the railway was closed down.[4]

The Red Hill Railroad near Chennai, used in 1837 for transporting granite, is considered by many as the first operational railway in India. Madras Railway was incorporated in 1853 the Great Southern Railway of India was formed in 1858.[5] The Great Southern of India Railway was merged with the Carnatic Railway in 1872 and renamedSouth Indian Railway in 1874. The main eastward route of Southern Mahratta Railway connected with other routes till Vijayawada (then known as Bezwada) in 1888. The mainline ofNizam's Guaranteed State Railway was extended to Vijayawada in 1889.[6]

During the period 1893 to 1896, 1,287 km (800 mi) of theEast Coast State Railway, fromVijayawada toCuttack was built and opened to traffic.[7][8] The construction of theOld Godavari Bridge in 1897[6] and construction of the Vijayawada–Madras link in 1899 enabled the through running of trains.[6]

The southern part of the East Coast State Railway (from Waltair to Vijayawada) was taken over byMadras Railway in 1901.[9]

Railway reorganization

[edit]

In the early 1950s legislation was passed authorizing the central government to take over independent railway systems that were there. On 14 April 1951 theMadras and Southern Mahratta Railway, theSouth Indian Railway Company and Mysore State Railway were merged to formSouthern Railway. Subsequently,Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway was also merged into Southern Railway. On 2 October 1966, the Secunderabad, Solapur, Hubli and Vijayawada Divisions, covering the former territories of Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway and certain portions of Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway were separated from Southern Railway to form theSouth Central Railway. In 1977, Guntakal division of Southern Railway was transferred to South Coast Railway and the Solapur division transferred to Central Railway. Amongst the seven new zones created in 2010 wasSouth Western Railway, which was carved out of Southern Railway.[10] In 2019 it was moved toSouth Coast Railway zone.

Stations

[edit]
