From The Archives, March 31, 1926: Through booking arrangements between India and Ceylon

Arrangements at present exist for through booking of goods and coaching traffic between stations on the South Indian Railway alone and stations on the Ceylon Government Railway.

Goods and coaching traffic from any stations in India other than those on the South Indian Railway to stations on the Ceylon Government Railway and vice versa, may, however, be booked to the Madura Co. Ltd. Dhanushkodi and the senders should make previous arrangements with them to re-book the traffic onward.

No responsibility will be accepted either by the South Indian or the Ceylon Government Railway in the matter of re-booking.
