Trains have been used in a variety of art to symbolize many themes. Speed, power, force, the passing of time. Railroad tracks have symbolized direction, industrialization, support, etc.
The train is not a symbol in my piece and there will not be an actual train. The purpose of creating the implied presence of a train is to help the viewer relate the aesthetics with the title.
The puzzle pieces and light bulb represent thought. After thinking of the puzzle piece idea I was on Wikipedia and realized that their logo is a sphere formed out of puzzle pieces. Wikipedia, which is pretty much base for most if not all of our encyclopedia related questions symbolizes the sharing of knowledge.
