Exploring Tirrannaville's Past

Tirrannaville has a history connected to the railway. Trains used to be a big part of how people and goods moved around.

Komungla Railway Station

Site of Komungla station

A train station was built in 1884 at a place called Komungla. This area is now part of Tirrannaville. The station was first named Bangalore. A small community grew around it. In 1916, its name was changed to Komungla. This station was an important stop on the Bombala railway line. However, it closed down in 1971.

Tirranna Railway Siding

Another smaller stop for trains, called a siding, was set up in 1906. It was named Tirranna. Sidings are usually shorter tracks next to the main line where trains can wait or load/unload goods. This Tirranna siding was used for a while but closed in 1941.
