'''Perambur Carriage Works''' is a suburban railway station less than a kilometre from the [[Perambur railway station]] in [[Chennai]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. The station has an elevation of 7.16 m above [[Mean sea level|sea level]]. Mainly POH and IOH of all type of passenger coaches are undertaken here. The railway department has many facilities around this station, including a school (Railway Mixed Higher Secondary School), and an indoor sporting facility (Railway Stadium).

==History==
[[File:PeramburCarriageWorks View2.jpg|thumb|210px|left|A view of the station towards east]]

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|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|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.<ref name="IRFCA_HistoryOfElectrification">{{cite web
