Because it's one of those classic "The story is about what happens when we accept the conceit of the setting" sci-fi approaches. It's a train, because there's exploration to be done around what happens on a journey that is both linear and fixed.

Eh, they could have done that with a shelter built in a tunnel or something like that. But that would have been boring; it's a train because trains are cool. And they could have had the train circling a city or even continent, but they made it circumnavigate the world instead because that's cooler.
