The image of the train in the title could symbolise ideas of journeys, growth, and progress.
The specific use of a Quaker to make an ignorant mistake could be Berry’s way of saying we all make mistakes.
Potentially, the title could symbolise how we are all ultimately journeying around the same place: Earth.
