Palakkad railway division

Managing 588 route kilometers of track in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Mahé (in the Union Territory of Puducherry), it is one of the oldest railway divisions in India and had a route connectivity of nearly 1,247 km before the formation of current Thiruvananthapuram and Salem divisions.The terminal facility of Palakkad division is situated in Shoranur Junction & Mangalore Central of Karnataka state.From Shoranur the branch line to Nilambur branches off into the teak forests on the right, while the mainline continues on north and runs past Tirur, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod, and crosses the Karnataka border just before Ullal to enter the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka.Just after the bridge across the Netravati River, 15 kilometers from the Kerala–Karnataka border, the lines to the Mangalore Central terminus branch off to the left.The Padil triangle including the station situated on the eastern side of the triangle come wholly under SR/PGT, and the South Western Railway (Mysore division) starts just a couple of meters after the Padil station and continues on eastwards towards Hassan and Mysore as the MHRDL line.
