Mumbai CST among world's most spectacular train stations

Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), which was elevated in 2004 to the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been named one of the world's most spectacular train stations in a list compiled by a German real estate data mining company.
The list of the world's most spectacular train station buildings by Emporis also features Gare de Liege-Guillemins in Belgium, Gare de Strasbourg in France, and London's King's Cross Railway Station.
The Grand Central Terminal in New York City has been one of the world's most prominent stations since it opened in 1913 and has a footfall of 21.6 million tourists every year, while cities such as Anaheim and New York with the ARTIC Station, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub respectively, have two soon-to-be-completed projects that will set new standards in station architecture.
