Railway platform at Salem Junction

Salem Junction railway station (station code: SA) is a junction railway station situated in the city of Salem in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.

Administration

The station is the headquarters of the Salem railway division of the Southern Railway Zone in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is one of the major transit points in Southern India.

History

The station came into existence as part of the Chennai (then Madras)-Beypore(present-day Kerala) rail line in the 1860s. The station gained its junction status when the metre gauge line was laid to Vridachalam, providing a connection to the South Indian railway network. After independence, the abandoned narrow gauge line of Dharmapuri-Morappur was re-built and alignment changed to terminate the line at Salem junction instead of Morappur. It was upgraded to metre gauge simultaneously. In the 1990s, this railway line was converted to broad gauge. In the 2000s, the Vriddachalam line was also converted to broad gauge, making the station a complete broad gauge station. The long-pending new broad gauge railway line to Karur, started in the late 1990s, was commissioned in 2013. This paved way for a shorter, more direct route to southern districts of Tamilnadu from Salem.

Connectivity and infrastructure

Salem Junction has 24-hour continuous (Bus No:13) bus service to Town Bus Station (Old Bus Stand) and Central Bus Stand (New Bus Stand). The nearest airport is Salem Airport, which is 18 km (11 mi) away from the station. 24-hour taxi service from the railway station is available. There are originating passenger trains in all junction lines.
It is an upgraded A–grade station. The station has a subway for every platform and platform bridges with escalators. The station has six platforms and eight tracks.^[1]

Facilities

The AC Waiting Hall At 1st, 3rd, and 4th Platforms with toilet facilities cost Rs:20/hr.^[2] The second entrance with ticket counter at Old Suramangalam Road is planning to construct with subway and footover. Platforms 1, 3 and 4 are operated with 24-hour lifts and escalators.^[3]

It has IRCTC Railway Canteen Platform No:3&4. Anandha Bhavan and Ashok Bhavan are nearby restaurants, and Hotel Ashwa Park, Raddison, Sivaraj Holiday Inn, and CJ Plazzio are nearby hotels.

The Salem Railway Division introduced battery operated car service on a payment basis at the Salem Railway Junction, available on platform numbers 3 and 4. The service is meant mainly for senior citizens, differently abled people, and ailing persons.^[4]

On 26 December 2017, Salem Junction got free Wi-Fi connectivity. The facility is being provided by RailTel, a public sector telecom infrastructure provider.^[5]

Lines

There are six lines branching out from the station:

Double Electrified BG line towards Chennai Central^[6]

Double Electrified BG line towards Erode Junction^[7]

Single Electrified BG line towards Mettur Dam (doubling between Magnesite Junction-Mettur Dam; work is in progress)^[8]

Single Diesel BG line towards Cuddalore Port Junction^[8] (electrification work in progress)^[9]
