Here’s a schematic map of the Chennai Suburban Rail Network, showing major routes and station connections as of the latest available update (original file from Wikimedia Commons, January 2006).

Chennai Suburban Railway Overview

Chennai’s suburban rail system, operated by Southern Railway, is one of the busiest in India—ranked after Mumbai and Kolkata—with a total network stretching over 1,211.8 km. Around 509.7 km of this is dedicated suburban track for EMUs (Electric Multiple Units); the remaining section is covered by MEMU services shared with mainline traffic.

The system comprises six main lines:

  • North Line: Chennai Central MMC → Sullurpeta (Andhra Pradesh)
  • West Line: Chennai Central → Arakkonam (and beyond to Jolarpettai)
  • South Line: Chennai Beach → Chengalpattu; extends via MEMU services to Puducherry
  • South West Line: Chennai Beach → Chengalpattu → Arakkonam (through Kanchipuram)
  • North West Line: Chennai Central → Arakkonam → Tiruttani
  • South West Frontier Line: Beach → Arakkonam via Perambur and Ambattur

A separate elevated corridor, the Chennai MRTS, runs from Chennai Beach to Velachery, distinct in operation and designed for inner-city connectivity.

Map Highlights

  • The visible color-coded lines correspond to distinct suburban corridors radiating across the city.
  • While the MRTS line isn’t depicted in this specific version, you can find combined rail-and-bus interconnectivity maps that include it for a broader understanding.
  • The map serves as a simplified reference—ideal for quick orientation, route planning, and identifying key hubs like Chennai Central, Egmore, and Tambaram.
