The first railway station to be built in Chennai is the Royapuram station constructed in 1855 though the city had a railway line that dates back to the 1840s.

Fundamentally, Chennai has 4 suburban railway lines,[2] namely North line, West line, South line and MRTS line. The South West line, West North line and West South line are merely minor extensions or modifications of the aforementioned suburban lines. The MRTS is a suburban railway line that chiefly runs on an elevated track exclusively used for running local EMUs or suburban local trains. No express trains or passenger trains run on MRTS line.
