The New Indian Express Kochi
|June 21, 2025
110-acre yard has enough land to construct 15 platforms, six pit-lines and 10 stabling lines
WHEN it comes to railway infrastructure, Kochi may strike gold in the coming years.
Indications are that the prospects of a new 'terminus' in the city, besides Ernakulam Junction and Ernakulam Town, have brightened. Should the plans take off, one of the long-awaited dreams of the people of Ernakulam district will come to fruition.
According to a railway source, the new terminus could come up at the Irumpanam marshalling yard.
"The (Thiruvananthapuram) division is planning to develop the terminus. However, for the plans to turn into a reality, steps like a survey have to be carried out. We have to verify many other parameters to ascertain its feasibility," a railway source told TNIE. As for the marshalling yard, it is understood that another space will be identified.
However, when contacted, Thiruvananthapuram divisional railway manager (DRM) Manish Thaplyal said the plans are in the concept stage.
