Even as a kid, I felt a sort of bittersweet element to the closing theme. It had a feeling of taking the train and leaving this wonderful place, but knowing you'd return there someday.
Kid from the early 2000's generation here; I felt that same feeling, but even worse, with the ending for Teletubbies. Every time the ending for Teletubbies played, I would always cry really hard as a child. And even to this day, it still makes me sad. It doesn't make me cry like it used to, just sad.
My special needs son does too! It sometimes makes him cry 😢😭 because he says it is full of nostalgia and maybe causes you to ask yourself, Oh why can't things be the way they were before? Why couldn't they stay the same?
it feels like I've been transported back to the 90s and reliving my childhood growing up in that era as a kid and gives me that comforting warm feeling of nostalgia and escapism

I loved that song
Yeah it's probably one of the most soothing and beautiful theme songs I've heard.
@@RailheadProductions really
@@brandonharrischannel7516 yes
@@RailheadProductions ok
@@RailheadProductions I will always love it, when ever I noticed the magic railroad it brings me up to that song
*Interesting fact:* The train known as the "Rainbow Sun" is a Union Pacific 844 locomotive.
2:29 end credits.
I consider this to be UP 844(4)’s Signature theme song
@@ishirotanaka me too
I think the slowed down version you're referring to is a different version sung around the end of the show's life cycle.
