The tone is neutral and practical. People use π when they book or ride a high-speed train, plan a trip to Japan, or want to say something is happening fast, like "on my way π ". It is often linked to the Japanese Shinkansen, but you can use it for any fast train. Next to π, it focuses more on speed because the design shows only the pointed nose.
It often means "I am coming fast" or "that was quick". It can also just mean the sender is on a train right now.
