The Train in the Vary Dimension (異次元列車 I jigen Ressha) is a multi-dimensional train that appeared in the TV series, Ultra Q in its final episode. It originates from the Vary Dimension, a parallel dimension where the lives of its people are pleasant and free of strife. By mysteriously manifesting in Earth's dimension, the train accepts passengers who where looking to escape their tiresome lives, then brings them to its destination within the Vary Dimension.
History
Ultra Q
The Train of the Vary Dimension would transport passengers to a place known as the "Vary Dimension". A Sci-Fi writer, Kenji Tomono, who managed to go to the Vary Dimension through alternative means by riding an elevator, described the Vary Dimension as free from the hardships and hassles of everyday life, and the dimension's humans lived a life free of stress.
Should passengers find themselves wishing to abandon their journey and return home to their families before the train crosses into the Vary Dimension, the train's conductor will stop the train and allow them to head back to Earth, continuing on with those committed to seeing the dimension with their own eyes.
A particular restriction involving travel using the train exists; should a prospective passenger return to Earth after travelling to the dimension, or have abandoned their initial trip before the train left Earth's dimension, they will be denied boarding should they attempt to travel on the train for a second time, as the Vary Dimension can only be visited once in the passenger's lifetime.Open Up!
