The Significance of the Numbers on the Train (thread)

So, I was inspired by this tweet a while back, and went down a mini-rabbit hole on number meanings. When I came back to it, I found some really interesting stuff. I want to delve into it a little deeper in this thread. https://twitter.com/jesseandlake/status/1381746122507575299">https://twitter.com/jesseandl...
The meanings of these numbers is rooted in both the newer concept of Angel Numbers, and also in the older concept of Numerology. I think certain numbers are rooted in one, the other, or both.
Numerology& #39;s goal is to get to the root number. To do this, reduce digits until you reach a single-digit number. So if you have 84 for example, you add 8+4=12, then 1+2=3. Your number would be 3. Angel numbers are based more in religion and spirituality.
Now, to specifics. One thing I was confused about was Lizard Girl& #39;s number. Why was it so high? What was the purpose of showing it to us?
86, when reduced to a single digit, is 5. The meaning doesn& #39;t pertain to lizard girl, but rather *Lake.* It& #39;s the number she was trying to get, and that was rejected.
This is the meaning of the number 5. Specifically note the last few lines. What& #39;s the train rejecting in that moment? Lake& #39;s *humanity.* It passes through her hand because it rejects her as a person, as she exclaims to the porter.
Another number that correlates with Numerology is Simon& #39;s number when he& #39;s found by Grace, which was 55. 55, when reduced to single-digets, is 1. The meaning of 1 can be seen below.
At this point in Simon& #39;s life, he begins anew with Grace, for better or for worse. His fate is in his hands, and his slate is clean. Personally, I& #39;d say that& #39;s pretty spot-on.
In terms of angel numbers, which function without the single-diget rule, two stuck out to me: Amelia& #39;s and Tulip& #39;s, who& #39;s starting numbers were 337 and 115 respectively.
337& #39;s meaning is pictured below. I really do think this applies to Amelia extremely well. At the point where Amelia boards the train, she& #39;s suffered a great loss. Not only of Alrick, but of stability in life. The reminder to live with joy is also notable.
With Tulip& #39;s number, 115, there& #39;s an emphasis on analysis and independance. Tulip& #39;s a very detail-oriented, analytical person, especially in regards to the train cars. She also refuses to rely on others, as pointed out by Lake in "The Chrome Car."
There& #39;s been many times where a number is showcased. Why would the specific number matter? Many numbers don& #39;t really seem to correlate to the size of the problem, in my opinion. I think we& #39;re shown these numbers for a reason.
In a show with such an emphasis on numbers, it would make sense that each specific number may have a deeper meaning. As I& #39;ve shown above, there& #39;s at least a few instances where an important number had a relevant meaning, and I think that& #39;s really cool.
There may be more numbers to dig into- hell, I& #39;m sure there is! Who knows how many random instances of numbers actually mean something really interesting. I guess we just have to keep an eye out for them.
