Answer:

Travelling experiences are a source of great happiness for children. In our childhood days, we all had a fascination towards travelling in train because of its length, the sound produced by the mechanical movement of the wheels, the loud horn etc. Here, in this poem “From a Railway Carriage” by R L Stevenson, the poet describes his thrilling journey in a train and about those sights that he saw then.

The title “From a Railway Carriage” captures the essence of the poem, as it is a record of the poet’s journey in a train. The poem communicates the poet’s observations and thoughts as he was sitting in a railway carriage.
