Ans:
A railway station is a place where trains stop and start from. Passengers get into the train and get down from the train there. It has a platform for the passengers. In a big railway station, there is a shed over the platform but at a small station it is open. A railway station has its master’s office, a booking office and waiting rooms for men and women. There are restaurants, bookstalls and stationary shops in it. A railway station is always a crowded place. Passengers come and go there. People are found in a long line to buy tickets. They push one another to go ahead. When the train arrives, the station becomes a noisy place, but when the train whistles away, it becomes calm and quiet. The flagman moves with red and green flags. The hawkers shout the vendors move, the porters walk to and fro and the beggars beg singing religious chorus. Thus a railway station is a place of great noise. It has a great significance because it is a melting pot for people from different walks of life and it keeps the entire nation moving forward.
