- Nilambur–Nanjangud line also called The golden I. T. corridor or Wayanad Railway, was a railway project to create a 5 ft 6in broad gauge rail connection from the town of Nanjangud (Karnataka) to Nilambur (Kerala) through Wayanad district of Kerala and Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu. The first proposal for such a line dates back to 1881.Dmrcl has started a detailed survey. Kerala government sanctioned 10 crore rupees for this survey. This railway having a length of 236 km starting from Nanjangud near Mysore and passing through Madhur in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka, Sulthan Bathery in Wayanad district of Kerala, and Devala in Nilgiri District of Tamil Nadu and reaching at Nilambur in Kerala is technically feasible as per the Kerala government. This BG line would join the existing railhead at Nilambur and lead to Thiruvananthapuram. The estimated cost of this railway is Rs.4266 crores. During 2010 the Planning Commission has sanctioned the estimated project cost of this proposed railway. This saves about 70 km from Kerala to Bangalore and saves 360 km to Mysore. This financial estimate was found to be economically non-feasible by the railways and the project was shelved. (en)
