There has been some confusion over the film's title, as none of that particular activity actually takes place in the film (apart from Renton forced to stay inside his bedroom which has train-themed wallpaper). Irvine Welsh has since gone on record to explain the title, stating that it started out as a euphemism for taking drugs (often done at a train station). The term gradually evolved to be describe an obsessive hobby that is not understood by people who do not practice it. Welsh thus compared the unusual hobby to heroin addiction, i.e, something that only the people who indulge in that pastime truly understand. To them, it makes perfect sense.
