Duchamp himself has rejected a melancholic interpretation and suggested that the title is a humourous [[alliteration]]. The young man was sad (''triste'') because ''train'' trails (''entraînes'') ''triste''.

The ''Sad young man on a train'' already showed my intention of introducing humour into painting or, in this case, the humour of word play: ''triste'', train. [...] The young man is sad because there is a train that comes afterward. "Tr" is very important.” <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=yPDKXnzgGGcC|title=Dialogues With Marcel Duchamp|last=Cabanne|first=Pierre|date=2009-07-21|publisher=Da Capo Press|year=|isbn=9780786749713|location=|pages=29|language=en}}</ref>
