I remember asking early what kind of symbolism did the train represent in the Japanese world and in Touhou. I think I know now. Im beginning to wonder if something didnt happen on the train, a transition, that took Maribel and Renko from their technologically advancing world, to an outlandish world called Gensokyo, a spiritual world of youkai and humans. Because I think thats what the train represents in their history now. Transition.
When they go on a real train, wanting to go to Gensokyo, they actually get on Yukari's bus. It leads to Gensokyo and they adventure there.
When they want to leave, it's not by train or by gap. They just wake up~ It's all seemingly a dream but they're both there... and it was their real life that they went on that train.~
this is beautiful though o.o i'm not very familiar with the original theme but I have heard some arranges, and I can't recognize this so I'm going to say... unique arrange :D
I didn't realize the music really went with my story telling. x3

@KitsuneDzelda You might be reading to deeply into it, but that's a wonderful idea.

@econ860 Many of the fan books/doujins think that Maribel and Renko get to Gensokyo by train. Others thing they get there by dream.
I personally think both, somehow~

@ChibiShowers A train in their dreams led them to this magical place called "Gensokyo". Is that how you think they got there?

@ChibiShowers It's really hard to explain how magical Gensokyo is, isn't it~?

@KitsuneDzelda Ah, agree @econ860; or it might be the same train for a Trip to the Old Station
