Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that the thing you're hoping for or expecting at the end of a difficult situation might actually be something dangerous or harmful, like a train. Just when you think you can see the end of your troubles, it could turn out to be a problem you weren't expecting. The quote reminds us that not every light at the end of the tunnel is a good thing, and we need to be careful not to assume that the future will be better without checking first.
