Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I’m clearly one of today’s lucky 10000.
Stay the hell on the train. Observe what happens to other passengers when they get curious.
Freak out. After that, it would depend on which world.
You look outside the train window and see what looks almost exactly like a forest on Earth, maybe something like redwoods, except the trees are much bigger than redwoods. A horse-sized dragonfly flits by. The front of the train carriage is crumpled, but there is a gash in the metal big enough to allow you to leave, if you desire, and to let the atmosphere in. You don’t feel any ill effects.
I crawl out and explore then. Hope to God I brought a straw water filter. Step onto the bouncy moss of the forest floor, look around at the landscape, happy I can breathe. Wonder how something horse sized can flit, then duck as it comes back towards me.
Assuming I survived in fairly good health?
Observe. No details would make me skittish with this

First assumption is an isekai into a world where all life is scaled up in size. Would gather up supplies and explore away from the train, heading for the base of a tree for shelter. If my theory is right, the train is a danger zone that will attract attention. If my theory is wrong, I can raid it for metal parts later
Of course, I would carry some of the steel from the train - Can use it to make sparks, crude weapons, etc.
Also would bring fabrics - Can’t be sure on water quality, and I know how to make a filter using bark, sand, gravel, and charcoal. Some fabric as a further filter would help out by preventing the components from slipping out of the hole in the bottom
See how much insulin I have left in my pump and start preparing myself mentally for death.
Well congratulations to our newest isekai v
ictolunteer! While traveling through the portal your body absorbed magical energy and you gained a new power! The power you have gained is… The ability for your insulin pump to never run empty! Now go out and fight demons and monsters, once you have slain the demon lord you may return back to your original world, and as a bonus you will keep your power that you received!Lol. I mean, having a magician cast cure disease might also work
Sweet! How do I charge it?
Its been nine hours, i hope you havent died with my delayed response. Because, frankly, its very easy to charge your device. This applies to all electronic you might have had with you, so where you typically plug in the device all you do is touch that area and channel your magical power into it, this should come natural to you being in the new world. It goes at a good pace so dont worry time, but you do have to worry about your mana consumption, im sure you’re already aware of what happens when you run out…
You are overpowered by a demon who then has its way with you?
We might be playing different types of games…
Hmm perhaps. Idk how to proceed, maybe i shouldnt
what are you talking about that’s literally already how underground trains already work
What trains are you going on, lol
One ticket to wherever he’s going please!
Well I mean first off if everyone on the train was there you would want to discuss how to procede given the unknown part. I think the one person has it right in that I can’t think of something like it before narnia.
Go on Slack and say I’m going to miss the daily stand-up.
This is a person who has been isekai’ed into work
You wouldn’t have internet access. To be clear.
1, get really annoyed that whatever plans I had are now changed because I’m not super good at paradigm shifts.
2, try to make the best of it because I really believe we bring our own good time.
I would be quite surprised
Check for my super cheat powers and pick the first woman for my isekai harem.
I’m thinking odds are it’s either a busty elf or a cat girl 😜
Isekai harems are “all of the above.”
Hey sometimes they are flat chested autistic girls or 7,000-year-old dragons who happen to look like a 9-year-old.
Personally I’m interested in neither but I’ve read a lot of manga
Flat chested autistic girl here. Can confirm I’m in 3 harems with brave travellers from another world.
Pending Train is pretty darn close to what you’re describing. I only got through the first episode, it falls prey to a lot of annoying little tropes, but it’s a cool concept for sure.
It is, yeah! I’d never heard of that, thanks for sharing.
Trying to crowdsource your next Isekai, huh?
I’d shit myself.
Seize the day
Immediately gather any crumbs.
Here’s some educational material for anyone curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbRxeJXpNOE
