* Railroads are very prominent in the most well-hidden ending of ''[[Tsukihime]]'', Kohaku True, both in literal sense, with Shiki traveling to meet up with Kohaku {{spoiler|at the Nanaya Mansion}}, and symbolic, representing the beginning of his new life.

* In the second album of [[The Protomen ~~(Music)~~|The Protomen's]] rock opera, the first half ends when Dr. Light escapes from the lynch mob Wily's propaganda has whipped up when he gets put on a train leading out of the nameless city.
