A Railway Station

A Railway Station 

 A railway station is a part and parcel of train communication of a country. It is a place where trains stop and start from. There is a platform here. Passengers get down and get into a train from a railway station. The buildings of a station are generally made of red bricks. One can see from a distance the green, red and blue signal and painted houses of a station. There are waiting rooms for male and female passengers. There are ticket counter, restaurants, book stall and station master’s room etc. There are two or more railway tracks in every station. There are two signals- one inner and the other outer. Before the arrival of a train the switch man gets them down. The points man moves with his red and green flags. Before the arrival of a train passengers stand in a line to buy their tickets. When a train arrives, the station becomes busy and noisy. When a train leaves the station, it again becomes calm and quiet. The hawkers make different sounds, beggars continue their begging and all people also continue their own works in the station. Thus a railway station is a place of great noise.  A railway station is a very important and essential place for the people at large.
