A Scene at a Railway Station

The British invented the railway and the locomotive. The rail-track was laid for the trains to connect different towns and villages on the routes.The train, drawn by heavy engine, would stop briefly for the passengers at places called railway stations.

                                            There are obviously typical scenes at a railway stations.The smart, uniformed stationmaster and his staff hurriedly move about when some train arrives or is about to leave.The platform is thronged with passengers, men, women, and children.Some stay close to their piles of luggage; others just walk about looking at colorful ads.The vendors do a roaring trade. Their brightly lit stalls or carts at different points attract passengers.There is noise and clamour all around. Meals, fruits, books, magazines, sell like hot cakes.The prospect of long, arduous and tiring journey ahead worries the passengers. I summer, pitchers and fans are in great demand. Water coolers and taps are the busiest spots.

                        Such a bustle follows when the train pulls in at the platform.Some people pick their way politely along the crowded platform while others bump into one another as they go hurriedly from one compartment to another.

                 The porters in their red shirt are seen bustling about.A hawker hurries from door to door, crying,"The Jang", "The News","The Nation", and The Nawa-i-Waqt".

       

      Such are some of the scenes at the railway station.
