Colonial-Era Heritage:
Thakurli was originally established as a British-era railway colony, and remnants like old railway bungalows and the steam-based “Chola Power House” (a power plant for the railway substation) still exist.
The coal-based Thakurli power station was built in 1932 to power suburban rail; it was shut in 1988 after a boiler blast and remained unused for decades.
