The only thing more romantic than meeting on a train is saying goodbye at a train station. Let’s pay homage to the most romantic train scenes in film and television, starting with three that came out in 2025.
Trains are a secret sauce for romances of all shapes and sizes. Why is that, you wonder? Could it be that they’re public spaces and force characters who wouldn’t normally act into confined spaces? The odds of having a meet-cute on a train feel high. Even if you’re not the type to chat up a stranger, I bet you’ve thought about it while people watching on public transit. As for train goodbyes, I think it’s the inflexibility of a departure time and a track. It adds stakes and a sense of destiny. You have to relinquish control to something bigger than yourself (the train), and that can be romantic in itself.
