Krishna Canal Junction Railway Station (station code:KCC[1]) is an Indian railway station in Tadepalle. It is one of the satellite railway stations of Vijayawada.[2][3]

History

Between 1893 and 1896, 1,288 km (800 mi) of the East Coast State Railway, between Vijayawada and Cuttack was opened for traffic.[4] The southern part of the East Coast State Railway (from Waltair to Vijayawada) was taken over by Madras Railway in 1901.[5]

As there was no railway bridge across the Krishna River, the trains from the South were terminated at this railway station and those from the North were terminated at Vijayawada railway station. The goods and passengers were transferred between the Vijayawada and Krishna Canal railway stations through barges.

Jurisdiction

It lies on the Howrah-Chennai main line, Delhi-Chennai line and is administered under Guntur railway division of South Central Railway zone. The station is also a part of Guntur–Krishna Canal section.[1][6]
