The Chennai Central–Bangalore City line (popularly known as Chennai-Bangalore line) connects the main railway stations in two of the larger cities in India - Chennai Central in Tamil Nadu and Bangalore City in Karnataka. ==History== The first train service in southern India and the third in India was operated by Madras Railway from Royapuram / Veyasarapady to Wallajah Road (Arcot) in 1856. Madras Railway extended its trunk route to Beypur / Kadalundi (near Calicut) in 1861. Madras Railway connected Bangalore Cantonment to Jolarpettai on the newly constructed Beypur line in 1864. Bangalore Mail started running the same year. Bangalore City was linked to Bangalore Cantonment in 1882. The wide narrow gauge line between Bowringpet (later Bangarpet) and Kolar was opened in 1913 by Mysore State Railway. The narrow gauge Yeshvantapur-Devanhalli-Chikballapur line was opened in 1915 and was linked to Bangalore in 1918.〔(【引用サイトリンク】IR History: Part III (1900-1947) )〕 With the completion of the gauge conversion to broad gauge of the Chikballapur-Kolar section in November 2013, the entire Bangalore-Kolar section was ready for direct broad gauge trains. The gauge conversion took about 7 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】76552/Kolar - Bangalore City DEMU (Via Chik Ballapur) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Railway line proposed by Indira )〕 Gauge conversion of the Bangarpet-Kolar line was completed in 1997 and since then it has been serviced by a railbus. The wide broad gauge Bangarpet-Marikuppam line came up in 1894. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chennai Central–Bangalore City line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
