Chhatrapati Shivaji
Terminus (CST) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an historic railway station
in Mumbai Maharashtra, India which serves as the headquarters of the Central
Railways. Designed by Frederick William Stevens with influences from Victorian
Italianate Gothic Revival architecture and traditional Mughal buildings, the
station was built in 1887 in the Bori Bunder area of Mumbai to commemorate the
Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The new railway station was built on the
location of the Bori Bunder Station[3] and is one of the busiest railway
stations in India,[4] serving as a terminal for both long-distance trains and
commuter trains of the Mumbai Suburban Railway. The station's name was changed
to its present one in March 1996 and it is now known simply as CST (or CSTM)
