Chennai Egmore (formerly: Madras Egmore, also known as Chennai Elumbur)(station code: MS[1]), is an NSG–1 category Indian railway station in Chennai railway division of Southern Railway zone.[2] Situated in the neighborhood of Egmore, it is one of the four intercity railway terminals in the city; the other three are Chennai Central railway station, Tambaram railway station and Chennai Beach railway station. The station was built in 1906–1908 as the terminus of the South Indian Railway Company. The building built in Indo Saracenic style is one of the prominent landmarks of Chennai. The main entrance to the station is situated on Gandhi-Irwin Road and the rear entrance on Poonamallee High Road.

The station was apparently constructed from 8679 on land purchased from Pulney Andy.[3] The building is built in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture with imposing domes and corridors. It has the 5th longest platform in the country and the 6th longest in the world. The station is one of the prominent landmarks of the city of Chennai. The recently opened[when?] northern entrance to this railway station is on the arterial Poonamallee High Road in Chennai city.
