Trains follow fixed tracks and represent destiny, life's predetermined path, and collective journeys shared with others. A train on schedule suggests life is progressing as planned. Missing a train represents missed opportunities on your life path. A derailed train indicates life going off course. Trains carry the symbolism of industrial progress and the momentum of large-scale change.
Yellow
Yellow represents mental clarity, optimism, joy, and caution. A bright yellow environment suggests intellectual stimulation and happiness. However, yellow can also indicate caution (yellow traffic lights) or cowardice. Faded or dirty yellow may suggest illness, decay, or betrayal.
