M&SMR Railway Workshops
The Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway(M&SMR) was formed in 1908 from the merging of the Madras Railway and the Southern Mahratta Railway. Two workshops were brought into the newly formed company from the Madras Railway and one from the Southern Mahratta Railway.
Madras Railway Workshop
The workshop for the Madras Railway was located in Madras
[1].
Perambur Railway Workshop
Perambur is situated about 7 km from Madras Central and was a station on the Madras Railway, which later became the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway.
The rise of Perambur as a premier Anglo-Indian centre was mainly due to the location there of the Carriage Works and Loco Works and the huge Perambur Railway Colony popularly known as the Pananthope Railway Colony.
