People ignored and reviled Jesus when He was in the body 2,000 years ago, but after He died more and more people began to realize Who He was, but by then it was too late to meet Him in the body: they had 'missed the train'. Of course it is never too late to meet Him in the spirit, but the powerful experience of meeting the Christ in the body has to wait until His coming again.
I believe that God does incarnate as the Christ approximately every 700 to 1400 years, and that He has come again twice since the Advent of the historical Jesus. Every time He comes, the majority of people do not recognize Him, until gradually, after hundreds of years, a large body of followers throughout the world recognize Who He was, and another religion is formed. His proclamation of Universal Love gradually turns into a religion and then ossifies into a dry husk of rituals and dogmas, of 'us versus them'... and then it is time for Him to come again.
Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, in MARY HAD A BABY (A Bible Study based on African American Spirituals, published by Abingdon Press) writes:
"In this version of 'Mary had a Baby,' this refrain ends every verse: 'The people keep a-comin' and the train done gone.' Trains were a new reality in the newly emerging industrial age of the early nineteenth century. They connected places that had been previously isolated. Trains represented a way out, whether physical spiritual, or imaginative. Train imagery figures prominently in Africa American lore. In the spiritual 'Get on Board, Little Children' 'the gospel train is comiong, the cog wheel is a-moing' and rumblin' through the land." "Get on board" to reach the land of spriitual freedom. There is also the historical image of the Underground Railroad, which took passengers from station to station on its way to physical freedom....
"The phrase may constitute a spiritual warning. Mary's baby represents freedom, salvation and deliverance. "Oh my LOrs!" Do not miss your opportunity to worship him. Jesus is the way out of sin and death."

Train has been a band since 1993. They have been together for 21, almost 22, years.
It means that we should never forget to take the time for our spouse, friend, girlfriend, or the like. I believe it has to do two people in a realtionship that is coming to an end. One realizes they want to get out and that they are not right for one another.
the lyrics iam going of the rails on the crazy train means crazy train means life and hes going off of the rails meaning doing every possible stupid thimg ever sex is on
The name of the song that you are hearing on the Golden Corral chocolate commercial comes from the old gospel songs that the slaves would sing. Now whether this is an actual song from then I do not know, but it is certainly based on that at the very least. The song is called "People Get Ready" - There's a Train a Comin. It is most noted with Curtis Mayfield, the Impressions, Al Green, the Chambers Bros, and many others. Hope this helps! It truly is a great song! Amen...

"Ride on the train" is not a word-- it is a phrase. You use it like this: A hundred years ago, when black people wanted to ride on the train, they had to sit in a special "negro" car because the railroads were segregated.
Although "in a train" may seem correct, the more commonly used phrase is "on a train".
