how interesting moments of some of the vehicles at that station.
Standing at Parvatipur railway station, some moments of traffic are seen in a way that is not easily forgotten. As the fog thinned in the early morning, a local train slowly pulled into the station in the distance. With the roar of the engine and the long whistle, the waiting passengers on the platform began to stir. Some packed their bags, some stood by the window looking for their loved ones. Now the train is not just a vehicle but a living bridge running between village and city.The arrival of the express train during the peak hours of the day is truly a sight to behold. When a high-speed train with a long coach stops at the platform, the entire station comes to a standstill for a moment.

Passengers busily boarding and disembarking as the doors open, children being pulled by the hand, someone waving goodbye through the window—all these scenes create a kind of emotion. Standing in front of the engine shows how powerful and important these trains are.Another interesting moment of the station is seen during the movement of freight trains. As the long line of carriages slowly moves, the sound of iron wheels echoes throughout the area. These freight trains carry the story of North Bengal's agriculture and industry in silence. Seeing this scene, it can be understood that Parvatipur is not only a passenger,How deeply involved with the economy of the country.
