Reminds me of the dream city from Inception...

No way! In less than 24 hours another Touhou/Stalker picture! I'm in HEAVAN!

I thought of Yukari the minute the freight train came into the middle of the first layer of the dream.

A train suddenly appearing out of nowhere? Of course my first reaction was "Yukari is fooling around again"

This is the Chernobyl "sarcophagus," right?

Correct.
More or less built by under-protected manpower.

From time to time, Yukari likes to get out into the real world and check up on things...to see how things have changed over the years.

Every time she does, however, she is reminded of exactly why she seperated Gensokyo from the rest of the world....

Damn Yukari, stop causing blowouts!

So, Yukari made the zone?

Makes more sense the longer you think about it. The Zone is basically S.T.A.L.K.E.R's version of Gensokyo: a romanticised(by its fans, and in-universe by the Freedom faction) hellhole where supernatural events are common and monsters go bump in the night. And day.

Yukari is all about borders and barriers, after all.
