Question

Essay on journey by train

Answer 1

During the last winter vacation, out class teacher, Mr. Vivek Sharma wished to take me and some of my friends to Puri and spend a few days there. On 26th December of last year, we were asked to arrive at Howrah station at about seven o’clock in the evening to avail the Puri Express. We boarded the train and it left Howrah Station just in time.We found that the compartment was full of passengers and piles of luggage with every one of them. Somehow I managed to stand by the side of a window. The train was running at a great speed. When I looked through the window I forgot everything of the world and completely lost myself. I saw the vast open fields and Mango and Sal trees in the moonlight night. Seeing this unearthly beauty of nature my heart was filled with indescribable pleasure and joy. I was amused seeing the houses and trees passing by very fast from my eyes.

Our train at first halted at Kharagpur. Vendors boarded the train and came to us to sell their goods. On the following day the train arrived at Puri in the morning. On the whole, I gathered a pleasant experience but the confused loud noise of the passengers and the dust and heat of the train inside gave me a lot of trouble.

Answer 2

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.
