History
Saidapet railway station was constructed when the suburban railway service between Madras Beach and Tambaram was opened on 11 May 1931, and the tracks were electrified on 15 November 1931.[1] The section was converted to 25 kV AC traction on 15 January 1967.[2]
gollark: In theory osmarks.net itself can just be compiled anywhere and put on any static webserver. In practice it can't because people have come to rely on stuff I arbitrarily scp-ed into the webroot, so I have to back up that folder. And it relies on some dynamic-site logic like the comments.
gollark: In case of an osmarks.net server implosion, I can theoretically run the critical site logic on one of the spare osmarksnode™s.
gollark: Can you instantiate the backups elsewhere?

gollark: I can fix it, but I don't think they work well in general.
