Egmore Railway Station, Chennai



Since I had to run an errand in northern Chennai, I decided to hire a taxi and take along my camera. This is the Egmore Railway station, an early 20th century building constructed in the Indo-Saracenic style. Note the unconventional flattish domes and narrow, pointed arches. As the main station connecting Chennai with the rest of Tamil Nadu and the south, you can imagine that it's a rather busy station. Of course, what India railway station isn't?

Beautiful on the outside. "Rodents of unusual size" on the tracks inside.
