My first journey on a train
Answers
sat by the window and looked at the passing scenery. Within minutes, we crossed the mighty Brahmaputra River. It was a fascinating sight to see the bridge with its numerous pillars and columns. Thereafter, numerous rivers, bridges, evergreen paddy fields, enchanting tea gardens, vast plains, villages, roadside shops, etc. sped before our sight.
In the late afternoon we reached New Jalpaiguri Station, which is the gateway to Darjeeling and Sikhim. Some of us got out of the train to have a look at the station. However, we had to rush back quickly as the train started moving. The wonders of the big station had distracted us and we didn’t realise how quickly time had passed.
The onward journey from N.J.P station (New Jalpaiguri) was a thrilling experience as our train inched its way through the enchanting Gangetic plains offering us wonderful sights of lush green fields, groves of fruit trees, straight roads, tiny cottages, huge factories, busy towns and numerous stations.
