The shed was opened and became operationally active since September 1966, spreading over a total area of 59,000 m2 and covered area of 7,500 m2. [1][2]

Operations[edit | edit source]

Being one of the four diesel engine sheds in Southern Railway under the territory of Salem railway division,[3][4] various major and minor maintenance schedules of diesel locomotives are being carried out here. Apart from serving the parent division, the locos belonging to the shed also serves the unelectrified routes of Madurai railway division, in addition to locos from Golden Rock. To provide space for electric locomotives, all the EMDs (WDG-4 and WDP-4D), WDM-3A and WDG-3A were transferred to Golden Rock.[5]
