Officially called CSMT, it was originally Bombay VT with VT = Victoria Terminus. Old Timers might still refer by the later name. It is possibly the single most grandest train station in India. This image does not do justice to it but I could not clock in a proper one.
Addendum: since technically this is a train station and not a train, mods are free to remove the post if it violates the rules

Its a great building.
Only in the us are things like train and subway stations artless reinforced concrete.
Older train stations are often very nice.
The one in the small NY city I came from was nice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poughkeepsie_station
Grand Central Terminal in NYC may not be pretty outside but has plenty of character inside.
Union Station in LA looks nice outside and even better inside.
That is true I guess stuff built pre 1970s in the US had art to it, detroit had a fancy train station too now that I think about it.
Nowadays they do not seem to bother.
What a beaut!
Fuck India does trains so well. I hate living in a primitive underdeveloped shit hole country where we don’t have that technology.
Not really. The speeds of trains is still a major constriction and Indian Railways is a major laggard vis a vis say, China. Sure, some aspects are advancing (electrification for one, 90%+ tracks are electrified) but high speed rail is still in it’s infancy (still under construction with help from Japan).
I live in the united States there are hundreds of miles wide squares that simply do not have any trains here.
Amtrak recently de-electrified some segments of track.
China may be better and currently doing great things. Obviously Japan is the best at this.
But India is still a magical wonderland of railways.
Woouah
