The Cochin State Railways - Remains of Ernakulam Terminus
Pictures from the long abandoned station. Ernakulam Terminus was the first station to serve the city but had to be abandoned in the early 60's as traffic and the city grew.

More views of Ernakulam Goods station. The godown on right was food storage area. The godown on left was having exit to a jetty and was used to store island produce (Jimmy Jose)
The godown adjacent to the jetty is still almost intact (Jimmy Jose)
Some equipments stored at the shed, probably plucked out from the station itself as there were no more tracks to be switched (Jimmy Jose)
Ornamental decoration on the canopy of one of the sheds (Jimmy Jose)
This is the water body area where boats once offloaded goods to transfer to trains. Just imagine how busy this area would have been in the past. (Jimmy Jose)
One of the old platforms and the rotting electrical equipments. (Jimmy Jose)

Jimmy, combined with the presentation you made at BNC, this really transports us back to the days of glory of the Cochin State. Though, it is indeed heartwrenching to see the deterioration now.

A very good collection in detail about the lost glory.
