All Aboard Learning: Railway Station Visit – Reading Comprehension for Class 5 

This Grade 5 reading comprehension worksheet takes students on an exciting study trip to a busy railway station. Through a detailed and lively passage, children see passengers rushing with bags, porters pushing trolleys, vendors selling snacks, and trains arriving with long whistles. They also learn how digital boards display timings and how coloured signals—red, yellow, and green—control the movement of trains just like traffic lights. 

The passage explains how teachers guided students, showing them how tracks are switched, how guards signal with flags, and how workers help keep the platforms clean. Students discover how teamwork, coordination, and responsibility make railway travel smooth and safe for everyone.
