A Railway Station

A railway station is a place where trains shop and start from. It is a crowded (জনাকীর্ন) and familiar (পরিচিত) place to all. From railway station people get into the trains and get down from the train. In a big railway station there is a shed (ছাউনি) over the platform but at a small station it is open. A railway station has its master’s room, ticket counter and waiting room for male (পুরুষ) and female (মহিলা). There are restaurants (রেস্তরা), shops, newspaper corners, book stalls and other stationary shops in it. Passengers (যাত্রীগন) come here from different places and also go different places from here. Passengers always gather (ভীড় করা) here to collect their tickets. They push one another to go ahead. When the train comes it becomes a noisy place and when train leaves the station it becomes calm and quiet (শান্ত). The flagman moves with red and green flags. 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.
