History
Perambur Carriage Works is one of the three railway workshops serving Indian Railways' Southern Railway zone (the other two being the Perambur Loco Works in Chennai and the Golden Rock Railway Workshop at Tiruchi). Perambur region, which has been a part of the Chennai city since the mid-18th century, is home to the Southern Railway's workshop, which was established in 1856 to serve the erstwhile Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway Company. A combined locomotive, carriage and wagon POH, and coach-building workshop, it was bifurcated, in 1932, to deal with carriage and wagon POH activity only, shifting the locomotive overhaul activity to the new Loco workshop built adjacent to the original workshop. Perambur Carriage Works station was built along with the Perambur Loco Works station to serve these two workshops. The workshops, along with other assets, came under the Southern Railway with its formation in 1951, integrating the erstwhile South Indian Railway Company (Madras), the Southern Mahratta Railway Company, and Mysore State Railway.
The lines at the station were electrified on 29 November 1979, with the electrification of the Chennai Central–Tiruvallur section.[1]
Developments
Perambur Carriage Works is one of the railway stations in the Chennai Suburban Railway network that are being developed as Adarsh stations.[2]
