Essay on journey by train
Answers
My college broke up for summer vacation on 10thJune and I decided to go to Delhi. My uncle lives there. He had invited me to spend a few days with him. So I packed by luggage and drove to the railway station on a scooter. My father came to see me off. We reached the station in time. we went of the booking office window to get a ticket. There was a long queue at the window. My father managed to get a ticket for me.
People of all casters and creeds were seen there. Secular India was visible there. The train arrived at the platform. People were running up and down to get a seat. Coolies were busy helping the passengers. The hawkers were crying at the top of their voices. There was a great rush. My father pushed me and I was able to occupy a seat. He placed my luggage in compartment. Soon the train steamed off. I bade my father good bye.
Soon the train gained speed. Very soon we were passing through the green fields. The farmers were seen working in their fields. They were ploughing the fields. Shepherds were grazing cattle. The children were making faces at us. We passed by many small and big towns. The train passed many bridges. The trees looked like running backwards. The earth seemed to be moving round. The clouds were in the sky. The scenery was very fine.
Our train was moving fast. It did not stop at small stations. It reached Ambala Cantt. At 5 p.m. here I had come tea. Again it moved on. It stopped at Panipat and Sonepat. It reached Delhi at 9 p.m. my uncle was already waiting for me. He received me warmly. Delhi railway station is a very big one. We hired a texi and drove homeward.
Really the journey by rail was a very interesting one
The railway is a cheap and best way of transportation. Traveling by Railway is very interesting also. Last month I decided to go to Shimla to meet my friend by train. I consulted the Railway Time Table. I found that the next train was to leave for Shimla at 10 p.m. I got ready and went to the railway station. I reached the station one hour earlier.
There was a long queue in front of the booking window. But a lady helps me to get a ticket. She purchased the ticket for me. I went to the platform with my bag. The platform was overcrowded.
After some time the signal was lowered. I saw the train approaching the platform. The train arrived and stopped. Everyone rushed towards the compartments and tried to get in. I made my way into a compartment. I was lucky to get a good seat by the window. After fifteen minutes, the guard blew the whistle and then waved the green flag. The train started and soon it was steaming off at a great speed.
The night was cool and it began to rain. I closed the windowpane and covered myself with a blanket. I looked out through the glass window. The trees, houses, and huts seemed to wheel back. The passengers were doing something or the other. Some were gossiping and chatting. Some were discussing the burning questions of the day.
The train reached Kalka. I changed my train to Shimla. After some hours I reached Shimla and meet my friend.
