Fort Railway Station, Colombo - Sri Lanka

I am drawn to old train stations, even if I’m not travelling. In my wanders around Colombo I couldn’t help but visit Fort Railway Station, the biggest station in Sri Lanka. Of course I did end up travelling around Sri Lanka by train, but I came here on my first day to marvel at the Victorian-era architecture and old signage that still adorns the station.
