Ernakulam Terminus (Station Code:ERG) is an abandoned railway station in the Indian city of Kochi. It was the first railway station in Kochi, built by the Maharaja Rama Varma XV of Kochi. Great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin Viceroy have visited Cochin through this old majestic railway station. Now it is abandoned and operates as a Goods Terminal of the Southern Railway.
Future plans
There is a strong demand to reopen this Terminus now, as Ernakulam Jn. is getting saturated. Once major Mail/ Express trains are shifted to here more MEMU services can be operated from Ernakulam Town, Ernakulam Junction and Cochin Harbour Terminus stations in the city.[1]
