[[WMG:This show is actually just a kid playing with their toys]]
Similar to ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'', this show's events were actually created by a child with train and dinosaur toys. This explains all of the confusing time travel logic within the show. It helps that Craig Bartlett got the idea to make this show after seeing his son play with dinosaur and train toys.

[[WMG: The dinosaurs use Cenozoic mammals for their food]]
It would explain why the train has never gone forwards in time from the end of the Mesozoic as there’s nothing there but farm animals, essentially.
* This opens up its own brand of FridgeHorror. As Cenozoic mammals ourselves, are we being farmed as a food source by hyper-intelligent time-traveling dinosaurs while being purposely kept in the dark about it? Is our entire civilization engineered for the primary purpose of feeding theirs? Dear god...
* In the episode Father's Day, it is revealed that Mr. Conductor's father used his drill train to go to the Cenozoic but his train broke down and the tunnel collapsed, trapping him until the episode, in which Mr. Conductor uses a new drill train to go to the Cenozoic (who only knew the name of the era because the train Systems said so), and they get his father back to the Mesozoic.

Think about it. They basically have the same design except Buddy's an anthro dinosaur. Same eye shape, proportions, and general art style. Their designs are even both orange with blue highlights. They're both focused on hypotheses, research, and general science, and given Sid's age, him [[KidsLoveDinosaurs being interested in dinosaurs]] would be completely in character. The whole of Dinosaur Train is Sid and possibly his friends getting really invested in a combination roleplay/unit study on dinosaurs. Inaccuracies, and the time-traveling train, are due to the dinosaurs all being kids', albeit science-minded kids', perceptions, and them needing an excuse to explore creatures from different time periods. Dr. Scott the Paleontologist is a teacher trying to get the kids back on track and focused on real dinosaurs as opposed to fictional ones.

Mrs. Pterandoon is abusive to her family and is racist towards Buddy when not on camera. She's discrete about it as to not get alienated by the rest of the dinosaurs and get banned from the Dinosaur Train. This is probably why they're going through to meet all the species: She's trying to find Buddy's family so that they can put him 'where he belongs' and 'live in peace'. However, the rest of the family know better, and probably won't let her give up Buddy. Mr. Pteranodon stays with her because he's worried Mrs will kill him if he leaves, and the kids because the Cretaceous doesn't have CPS.

[[WMG: The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs wasn't an accident]]
The series takes place on earth, which means it must follow the laws of physics. This means that with a time machine, the furthest back you can travel with a time machine is to the moment it was turned on. We see the kids meet early dinosaurs and crocodiles, so that means that dinosaurs have had time travel throughout the Mesozoic Era, so they had the technology for 100 million+ years. We also see that aside from trains they have submarines and zeppelins, so what if they developed space travel too?
What if the asteroid dropping on earth was the last act in a war between the dinosaurs and some other alien race?
