A journey by train is among the most enjoyable journeys. I travel long distance quite often and have travelled via buses, trains as well as aeroplanes. While each of these journeys has its set of benefits, I personally love train journeys.
A journey by train is the best if you have enough time and have to travel long distance. This is the only means of transport that allows you to sleep comfortably during the journey. I prefer travelling at night. I can comfortably sleep in the train during my journey and wake up fresh and head to work during my official trips. One of my most memorable journeys by train was when I travelled from Delhi to Lucknow last year. I went to visit my relatives in Lucknow. During this train journey, I met a group of college students. The group was lively, cheerful and extremely friendly.
As I was sitting right besides them, they offered me some snacks and cold drink. They soon began conversing with me. They narrated some of their experiences and I shared mine. I also gave them career advice. The six hours journey passed very swiftly and we reached Lucknow. As we parted, we exchanged our phone numbers and promised to keep in touch.

The school closed for the long summer vacation and I got ready to go to Shimla to meet my uncle. My younger brother and sister accompanied me. We proposed to stay there for a fortnight.
We packed our luggage and reached the platform. The platform was over-crowded. Coolies were moving up and down carrying the luggage. The hawkers were making a noise by crying aloud in praise of their wares.
We put our luggage on the platform and waited. The train steamed hi at about 9 A.M. There was a mad rush for the seats. Some got in while other got down. We got into a second class compartment and made ourselves comfortable as best as we could.
The mad rush melted away after a short time. The train did not move yet. At about 10 A.M., some new bogies were attached to the train. They were for the passengers who had got their seats reserved at Delhi. These new compartments were soon full. At 10.40 the guard blew the whistle and waved6 the green flag. The train left the platform.
Our compartment was a small one. Luckily we had our seats near the window. Therefore, we could breathe in a fresh air. I looked out. It was quite dark. There was a streak of light1 on one side. It was the moon coming out of the western horizon. I could now enjoy the scene outside. Trees and electric poles seemed to be wheeling back.
Now I looked round the compartment. Most of the passengers were dozing on their seats. My brother and sister too were fast a sleep. A fat man nearby was snoring hard. At 3. A.M., the train reached Ambala. Many passengers alighted here. So there was enough accommodation in the compartment now. I too now stretched myself on a seat and was soon fast asleep.
I woke up at 6 A.M. It was already day-break. I could now see the distant mountains. A thrill of joy ran through my body. The train soon streamed in at Kalka. We got down. The small train for Shimla was on the other platform. We got our luggage booked and took our seats in the train.
