| Train-Station Goodbye | comment |
The classic parting of two lovers at the train station. The two Star-Crossed Lovers are saying goodbye: who knows if they will ever see each other again. Expect a conductor on the platform shouting "Board!", forcing them apart. As the train starts to pull out of the station, the lover staying behind runs alongside to keep his lover in view as long as possible, while the lover on the train either leans out the window or is pressed up against the glass. A very effective Tear Jerker. Can be a Downer Ending, but occasionally the lovers are reunited through The Power of Love. See also Airplane of Love. In a modern North American context, this is an Undead Trope, as railroads have decayed in favor of short-hop plane flights and the automobile. It's more common in media from Japan and Europe, where trains remain a vital mode of transportation. In a story with a more supernatural edge, one may be seeing the other off at the Afterlife Express. If the lover who's staying is trying to get to the station before the train pulls out, it overlaps with Race for Your Love. |

In The Namesake film based on the book, this is messed with viciously. Gogol(now Nikhil) and Moushumi are about to go on a train to see Gogol's parents. Gogol then finds out about Moushumi's affair with her high school sweetheart. Gogol turns away from her in the train station and Moushumi walks away, embarrassed. | |

The Simpsons did it, and Lampshaded it, of course, in "Lisa's Substitute". Lisa's substitute teacher Mr. Bergstrom — her Precocious Crush and one of the few people with whom she feels a genuine connection — takes a train out of Springfield after spending one episode in her life, leaving only a note to remind her of why things will be alright: "You are Lisa Simpson". The short "Playdate with Destiny" parodies this. Maggie runs after the train that's taking Hudson away, and ends up losing him...except the train in question is a park ride that just loops back around again. |

Seen in Michael Collins when Michael and Kitty bid farewell to Harry Boland, who is departing for a trip to America. Kitty kisses her then-beau Harry goodbye.....and is then forced to do the same with Michael when some British officers demand to see her papers. The music that plays over the scene is even titled 'Train Station Farewell' on the soundtrack. | |

The Leo McCarey classic Make Way for Tomorrow has a Tear Jerker one of these. An old couple is forced to separate when they lose their home and none of their kids can/are willing to take them both in. Things get worse, and finally, Pa has to go to California by train. The kids are discussing the situation and you're left with the hope that they'll find some way to get Ma out there too. But the old couple is certain they'll die before reuniting, and they have a long, heartfelt farewell. | |

It had been a gift from "The Old Chief," so there's some sentimental value there. After the train leaves, Walter wires ahead to the next station that "the son of a bitch stole my watch." | |

Amnesia: Memories uses this for Ikki's Normal Ending. He's saying goodbye to the heroine because she's moving back in with her father, with his place being a two-hour train ride away. It's played as a very Bittersweet Ending because Ikki makes it clear that he believes their relationship will fall apart, and that her not deciding to move in with him shows her view of things, too, and that any further continuation will come from her side. The ending leaves off on the heroine and Ikki messaging each other about making plans for the next weekend. | |

Grim Fandango does an alternative take on this with Glottis being unable to go beyond the Land of the Dead with Manny and Meché; whilst it obviously isn't romantic in any way, it's still a potential tear-jerker through Glottis embracing Manny and crying about how he's the best boss he's ever had. | |

Near the beginning of Zootopia, Judy says goodbye to her family before she boards a train to Zootopia for her new job on the police force. Cotton, a child bunny who is her favorite niece, brings a slight parody to trope by being the one who shouts "Bye Judy, I love you...Bye...Bye" as the train doors shut and running alongside the train as it pulls away. | |

5 Centimeters per Second has this as one of its many pivotal moments, because it's one of the last times Tohno sees Akari before they permanently part ways. It's made even stronger since it was after the first time they shared a kiss, and spent the whole night catching up and reminiscing, snowed in at an old shack. | |

BoBoiBoy: Non-romantic examples, involving friends and family seeing the hero off before his train trip. Because BoBoiBoy is only in Rintis Island for the holiday, his grandfather and newly-made friends are sad to see him go, and wave goodbye from the platform while BoBoiBoy gives his signature thumbs-up from the window. This is in the Season 1 finale, and he moves permanently to Rintis Island in the 2nd season once his parents permitted him at his request. Come the extended version of the very first episode (a Milestone Celebration for the series' 10th anniversary), the prologue has BoBoiBoy seen off by Amato and MechaBot, the former being his father, at the train heading to Rintis Island. He raises his hand to the window towards BoBoiBoy as they say their goodbyes to each other until the train leaves the platform. |

The two had been dating for a while, but it is only now before they are saying farewell that she asks him to kiss her. It is a good kiss, and a major turning point in their relationship, and set up that their love had now grown so strong that not even the introduction of Gwen Stacy's clone (that very issue) could derail it. | |

No Time to Die has a rather tragic example: James Bond and his Second Love Madeleine Swann are attacked by Spectre in Italy, and Bond thinks Madeleine has something to do with it and parts ways with her at a train station, putting her on a train and wishing they never see each other again. In this case it's the woman running along the moving train carriage to keep Bond in sight as he's standing still on the platform, until he turns his back and the train accelerates carrying her away. It turns out Madeleine had nothing to do with the attack; Ernst Stavro Blofeld was behind it and just did this to either kill him or break his newfound love relationship. | |

The Since You Went Away version was parodied in Airplane! with the soldier on the plane, leaning out the hatch as it taxis down the runway, and his lover running alongside yelling her goodbyes whilst colliding with various stuff. | |

Played with in Luca. Although usually done as a lover's goodbye, it's portrayed in this film as an homage to the train station scene from Fellini's I Vitelloni. At the train station, Luca learns he can go with Giulia to school, leading to a heartfelt good-bye with Alberto who is staying behind with Massimo until Luca returns in the summer. As the train starts to leave, Alberto runs along side until he reaches the end of the station then jumps out onto the ground yelling congratulations and encouragements to Luca as he pulls out of sight. | |

The Full Metal Panic!: 2nd Raid OVA used this at the end. Tessa confesses her love to Sagara as he's leaning out of a plane taking off. The music swells romantically and is then subverted when Sagara mishears and thinks Tessa is admitting to being an alcoholic. Tessa is not amused. | |

One of the best tear-jerking versions in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Guy has been drafted, and Geneviève with tears in her eyes sings a song at the train station begging him to stay. He can't, but promises to come back because he still loves her. It doesn't work out. | |
