Diesel Loco Shed, Erode, Railway maintenance facility in Erode, India
The Diesel Loco Shed in Erode is a maintenance and repair facility located near Erode Junction Railway Station in Tamil Nadu. The site contains workshop buildings and tracks where different locomotive models are serviced and inspected.
Founded in September 1966, the facility marked the shift from steam locomotives to diesel operations in the Southern Railway zone. This transition reflected the broader modernization of India's rail network.
The logo features a leaping deer, representing the facility's place within the Indian Railways network of Tamil Nadu.
The depot is easily accessible from central Erode near the main railway station and operates actively on weekdays. Visitors should expect industrial activity and train movements, so daytime visits are advisable.
The facility specializes in serving non-electrified routes and plays a key role in maintaining branch-line operations across the region. It simultaneously adapts to the growing electrification of the railway network.
