Diesel Loco Shed, Ernakulam, Railway maintenance facility in Kadavanthra, Ernakulam, India.
The Diesel Loco Shed operates under the Southern Railway Zone, serving as a maintenance depot for diesel locomotives of the Indian Railways network.
Established in 1981, the facility transformed regional transportation by replacing steam locomotives and maintaining WDM-2 and WDS-6 class engines until 1985.
The railway depot represents Kerala's industrial progress, marking its position as the southernmost locomotive maintenance center in India's rail network.
The facility conducts regular inspections, repairs, and overhauls of diesel locomotives, ensuring operational readiness across the Southern Railway network.
Despite widespread railway electrification after 2000, this shed survived closure attempts in 2013 through community support and continued operations.
