Question

READ THE PASSAGE:
The first time I saw a train, I was standing on a wooded slope outside a tunnel, not far from Kalka. Suddenly, with a
shrill whistle and a great burst of stream, a green and black engine came snorting out of the blackness.
I turned and ran to my father. "A dragon”! I shouted. “There's a dragon coming out of its cave!”
Since then, steam engines and dragons have always inspired the same sort of feelings in me - wonder, awe and delight.
I would like to see a real dragon one day, green and gold, and as I have always preferred the reluctant sort – rather shy
and gentle - and until that day comes, I shall be content with steam engines.
In India the steam engine is still in use on some lines. India has one of the most extensive railway systems in the world.
Hundreds of trains that criss-cross the sub-continent, panting over the desert and plain, through hill and forest, are often
pulled by these snorting monsters who belch smoke by day and scatter red stars in the night.
Even now, when I see a train coming round the bend of a hill, or crossing a bridge, or cutting across a wide, flat plain, I
feel the same sort of innocent wonder that I felt as a boy. Where are all these people going to, and where have they come
from? What are they really like? When children wave to me from carriage windows, I wave back at them. It is a habit I
have never lost. And sometimes I am in a train, waving, and the village children wave back to me - well, not me exactly,
it is really the train they are waving to
Small wayside stations have always fascinated me. Manned sometimes by just one or two railway employees, and often
situated in the middle of a damp subtropical forest, or clinging to the mountainside on the way to Shimla or Darjeeling,
these little stations are, for me, outposts of romance, lonely symbols of the pioneering spirit that led men to lay tracks
into the remote corners of the earth.
