Hi Lars,
I have added the fontset file and also the Label and other definitions at
the appropriate places but still the Labels are not being displayed for the
layer RailwayStation.
My map file now looks like this:

My Fontset file is fonts.txt and it is located in the same folder as the map
file.
It contains the following:
arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf
arial-bold C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arialbd.ttf
So where is the problem?
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for your reply.
