A railway station is a place where trains stop and start from. Passengers get into or get down from a train at a railway station. In general, the building of a railway station is made of red brick. It looks red from a distance. One can see the green and red signals and red buildings of a station. A rail station might have some rooms. Some of them are used as a waiting room for male and female passengers, ticket counters, booking office for goods, station master’s room, etc. Some tea stalls and other stalls are also there. Constant shouting of many hawkers is heard; they shout the names of their goods and sell them. Here railway porters are found looking for the passengers to carry their goods. Every railway station possesses at least two lines (tracks). Two signal posts with red and green signals are noticed. It is the point’s man who maintains the signals. He also moves along the platform with a red and a green flag in his hand. Just outside the station, there are stands for rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, and other vehicles. There are ticket counters in a railway station. People collect tickets from those counters before the arrival of a train. For that, they stand in a big queue. With the arrival of a train, the station becomes busy and noisy. Some passengers get onto the train and some others get down from it. In this busy moment, we may notice the exchange of hot words and anti-social activities such as theft, robbery, pickpocketing, etc. By the way, with the departure of a train, the station becomes calm and quiet.
