Got lanterns and draisines got that purpose already, would make lanterns even more useless after players have used it for the cobwebs in different parts of Graal.
being that there's nothing essential in Snow Town worth getting, I think it's good to have certain areas of the map only accessible through progression
Also at least if the train only went to snow town at least they wouldn't be able to get to the shop, the cave where the former bandits are, the skull hat cave, and the bandit cave. That is still a lot of places that they would need a draisine for. also there's that shop with the rat pet.
Still, being that the lantern doesn't actually cost that much, and snowtown doesn't have that much to it at the moment, I think it's fair that it stays as it is. It can be a sort of goal for players, as it adds the feeling of unlocked areas.
@what thallen said, if there would be more places that you only can enter by doing quest or stuff the game brings a bit adventure back and would make "nubs" getting better at the game.
IMO it's way more fun to adventure than to see the whole map by doing nothing.

Gotta progress through the menu to buy a Gralat pack.
