History

Tambaram Sanatorium railway station lies on the Madras Beach— Tambaram suburban section of the Chennai Suburban Railway, which was opened to traffic on 11 May 1931. The tracks were electrified on 15 November 1931. The section was converted to 25 kV AC traction on 15 January 1967. However, the station was built much later. When the Government Hospital of Thoracic Medicine expanded in the 1970s and gained importance, the railway station was built to serve the locality.

Safety

The stretch along the station is considered one of the deadliest accident zones in the Guindy– Chengalpet stretch of the suburban section, with about 15 accidents occurring every month as of 2011 in the Chromepet– Tambaram stretch.
