The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) heritage gully in Mumbai— an open-air museum featuring rare relics like India’s oldest electric and steam locomotives and parts of the original railway infrastructure — has been carelessly dismantled and relics relocated to Lonavla to make way for the CSMT’s redevelopment into a ‘world-class’ terminal.

The priceless artefacts, once showcased at the site, have now been transported to Lonavala, where they were reportedly damaged during transit and are currently lying abandoned on a muddy plot earmarked for a future museum.
