CHENNAI: Priceless railway heritage has been left to rust at the Chennai Rail Museum in Perambur, as many of the outdoor exhibits including 100-year-old steam locomotives, first-class coaches, postal coaches and others are exposed to the elements without any maintenance.
Though railways ensured that the campus and its greenery had been preserved during the lockdown, they could not carry out work to ensure that the locomotives and coaches that tell the story of growth of railways in the country are protected.
