Why were people heading north? Describe their state of mind. One june night, Euston Railway Station in north western London was crowded with people. They were not ordinary passengers but they had gathered there to board a train heading towards north.  They were not going to north on pleasure trip. It was a strange purpose which had brought them there. They were going to Yorkshire to see the dawn. But it was not an ordinary sunrise they expected to see. That night. It seemed, the entire population England was travelling northward to see the dawn, the sky had become more real and important then the earth, an all those people were going north to watch the eclipse of the sun Scattered on the slopes of a hill, waiting for the dramatic rising and eclipse of the sun they seemed to have lost their identities. They looked like statues in a pale world, they felt that they were the inhabitants of some ancient age waiting in wonder and awe to statue the sun
