    I'm exactly the same way...but it's no just trains, it kind of is being alone in almost every situation. I started having panic attacks on the subway and then it spread to other areas of my life. I'm much better now, because I got help early. Have you had a full-blown panic attack on the train? If so, you should really talk to someone who can help you asap and offer some relaxation techniques to help you cope. Good luck with everything...panic attacks can be cured, remember that.
