Every now and then, a train will pass through Stardew Valley. You know this, because a little pop up appears in the corner of the screen, telling you so. Most of the time I ignore it, because there isn’t too much to do with a train besides hope it drops some stones or sticks as it passes, but recently I’ve gotten interested in the little pictures that appear on the side of the cars.
Hello train.
There seems to be a lot of them, and I wonder what they’re based on. Are they references of some kind? Hat tips to animators or people that worked on the game? Are they just random?
I’d love to find out more about them. Plus, I don’t know if this is all of them, just as many as I’ve seen from the few trains I’ve caught since becoming interested in these pictures.
In other news, that’s really not a good idea. Filling up a car with straw of some kind and then leaving the door open. Why is there a door there? Is that just a false top, to confuse spy planes flying over head? If so, what is really in there?
These trains hold many mysteries.
