Vriddhachalam Junction railway station (station code: VRI^[1]) is located in Cuddalore district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and serves Virudhachalam.

History

The South Indian Railway Company laid a 715 km (444 mi)-long metre-gauge trunk line from Chennai to Tuticorin in 1880.^[2]

With the conversion from metre gauge to broad gauge in the entire Egmore–Tambaram–Villupuram–Tiruchirapalli–Dindigul–Madurai sector virtually complete broad-gauge passenger traffic was initiated in March 2001.^[3]

Electrification

The broad-gauge Viluppuram–Tiruchirapalli sector was electrified in 2010.^[4]

Despite the fact that most trains bound to South Tamil Nadu stop at this station, this station is only a 'B' grade station.
