An airplane often stands for a big transition — leaving one chapter for another, faster and higher than everyday change. Take-offs mirror beginnings; landings, arrivals you have been waiting for.

Train A train often reflects the direction your life is taking — a path that's already laid, moving on its own momentum. Catching it can feel like being on track; missing it, like a chance or a timing you fear you let slip.
