Set 3: Essay On Visit to a Railway Station
A railway station is a very busy and noisy place where travellers are either entering or leaving the station. This I found out when our teacher made all the necessary arrangements for our class to take a trip to the Howrah station.
At the entrance we were met by Mr D’Cruz, who was the guard of the Kalka Mail. He was off duty, so he was happy to be our guide. He took us to the platform and it was interesting to see hundreds of passengers waiting eagerly for their train to arrive. Some were sitting on the benches reading the newspapers, sipping a cup of tea or a cold drink while others were pacing up and down the platform. Vendors were busy selling their goods and porters in red shirts sat in a line waiting to help the passengers load or unload their luggage from the train.
On one platform a train, the Coromandal, steamed in and then there was a lot of noise and confusion. People were pushing their way out of the train, trying to get quickly to the taxi stand. Porters went rushing into the compartments trying to help passengers carry their luggage.
Mr D’Cruz then took us to a quieter part of the station and showed us the various railway officials’ offices, the restroom, the restaurant, snack bar, book stalls and curio shops.
Then Mr D’Cruz gave us all a big surprise. He took us to a platform which was almost deserted. Only a few people were moving around. Then we saw an engine which looked new and had the number 1835 printed on a brass plate. There were three bogies attached to it and Mr D’Cruz informed us that this was one of the trains used when the British were in India.
Our tour of the station ended with a cold drink and a packet of wafers given generously by Mr D’Cruz.
