History
This line was laid in 1880. A Catholic carpenter, Tome Caetano de Costa from aldona, Bardez, was entrusted with laying of the railway line and construction of Curchorem-Sanvordem railway station. One of the main contractors of the rail line from Marmagoa to Collem was Mr. Cosme Damiao Noronha and his subcontractor was Tome Caetano de Costa. Curchorem-Sanvordem was covered with thick forests and wild animals, so that people used to think that Sanvordem formed an outer limit of Goa. The Portuguese government asked the British government to start the railway line. This was the most difficult task as hills had to be cut down, tunnels dug and thick forest cleared.
