Music commentary
The whole song mainly describes three parts:
1. Tree shadows are green
2. Steep slope and deep tunnel
3. Beautiful Town Mansion

The music starts with a signal tone type currently used in French stations broadcasting. This sound sung by a female voice is beautiful and impressive! Next, the music describes a fast-moving train. The materials used include 2 sets of tunes with tonality, plus a set of 12 notes of different heights with chords, and a cyclic 4-tone pattern. 

The whole song can be divided into 5 sections. Except for the intro and epilogue, each section describes the three sceneries mentioned above.
