By just looking for connections to trains because that was our initial reaction, we may not see other clues because we are not looking for them.

Or maybe that's what they want us to think! The hint is exactly what we are saying, it's just that even if we figure out what the hint really is, it isn't the right encryption code for the PDF or the elaborate design of the FIRST game. Hints are fairly useless even if we do figure it out.
