2. How is rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
*A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by train or car. However, usually you cannot see so many interesting things from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up and walk around than on a train.

There is no turning back!
so keep on moving forward and never quit!
Travel far enough,
