The history of railways in Kerala traces back to Tirur. Tirur Railway station is the oldest station in the state.[5] The stations at Tanur, Parappanangadi, and Vallikkunnu also form parts of the oldest railway line in the state laid from Tirur to Beypore.[5] The line started functioning on March 12, 1861.[6] In the same year, it was extended from Tirur to Kuttippuram via Tirunavaya.[5] Later, it was further extended from Kuttippuram to Pattambi in 1862, and was again extended from Pattambi to Podanur in the same year.[5] The current Chennai-Mangalore railway line was later formed as an extension of the Beypore - Podanur line thus constructed.[5]
