Heritage structure at CST found

The remains of century-old cargo shed has now been brought back to
light after the Central Railway recently opened a new entrance to the
150-year-old Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus, once known as the Victoria
Terminus.

''It was called the Karnad Shed and was operational till 1991, later
it fell out of use,'' said Shriniwas Mudgerikar, Chief PRO, Central
Railway.

The cargo shed was built much earlier in 1910 and could soon find a
place in the railway museum in Mumbai or Delhi.

Railway officials discovered the heritage value of the site - a cargo
shed - where goods used to be loaded onto trains in the early 20th
century.

The earlier plan was to demolish the structure and make a new
entrance to the railway station but that plan has now been put on
hold.

A steam operated iron crane was also found lost in the shrubbery. Yet
another example that underlines how even as early as 1910, Mumbai was
an important port of call for visiting trade ships.
