Cochin Harbour Terminus (station code: CHTS) is an NSG–6 category Indian railway station in Thiruvananthapuram railway division of Southern Railway zone.[1] It is one of the railway stations in the city of Kochi, in the state of Kerala, India. During the peak time of the station, 17 trains operated from here to different parts of the country and served as the principal station providing rail connectivity to the southern segment of the Port of Kochi located on the Willingdon Island.[2] The station, which has not been in use after the commissioning of Vallarpadam container terminus is now locked and all the train service to the station from Ernakulam Junction were completely stopped in 2013.[3] Since then, only occasional tourist trains carrying passengers will arrive at the station – notably the Golden Chariot in 2022.[4]
