I don't know why I didn't get around to responding here, but I like your interpretation a lot.
For me it was always a kind of reminder that things are always changing, train doors gotta close to get to the next stop, with or without us.

Thank you for circling back after all this time. I actually think of this poem often. I can't say I always remember the whole thing, but I remember the part I quoted. It makes me consider whatever is going on in a different light.
