Stolen from the Colonial age. The impressive Cochin Harbor Terminus Station served as the nerve centre for Railway activities in Cochin for over 50 years until being abandoned in 2004

Another view of the colonial station. Mute reminder of a bygone era

The old clock. Broken and dead. Forever??

Platform no. 1 of the Station. Station has no station master to keep it clean!

Platform No. 2. Imagine a WDM 2 hauled Netravati Express here!

Station Manager's room. Locked forever?

Empty and locked up offices of the station.

Another view of the ghost station. The table and chair belonged to RPF personnel posted there

Freshly painted late running board. Was it ever used after the painting?

Erstwhile train timings, when on the day the station was closed down. Note the board reading "NO TRAIN SERVICE FROM THE STATION".

Interior of the building. Railway offices are placed as an island inside the building with corridors on both sides.

View of the platform and signalling cabin of the station head on. What a terrible sight. Imagine a busy train preparing to leave here

Proud signals that once held their trains in place. No more trains to control. Yet they strikingly stand out

An old goods wagon now rests peacefully near the coach maintenance area. RIP!

The once busy coach maintenance yard is now anti social's heaven. Thanks to the railway apathy

The passage to the office of the Senior Section Engineer (C and W), Cochin Terminus.

I remember coaches getting cleaned up here a few years back..

The old cabin stand out from its green surroundings. The cabin that controlled activities here. This cabin will never see a train again.

Another view of the majestic platforms..

Indian Railways have indianised names of various stations since names of the respective places too were changed. Did IR forget to rename "Cochin" to "Kochi". Or no painter dared to cross the bush to rename??

This is the approach to the passenger side of Cochin Terminus

The home signal to Cochin Terminus. Modern yet unused..

A kilometer marker is the only proof supporting that trains once ran through. 113 kilometers from Shoranaur Junction

This photo demonstrates the difference between life on the right and death on the left. The left side was once passenger rake parking area

The active goods yard of Cochin Terminus. It sees many movements every day. The most profitable goods yard of Thiruvananthapuram division. Please make the passenger area as busy as this!

The goods yard has no trains to handle today. The lone wagon is a palm oil tanker

A new goods unloading platform is being built. This will be used primarily to unload or load grains from BCNA wagons
