In, the train station is located at the top of the player's town and can be used to travel to other towns.

Slider can be found sitting on the stool outside the train station from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. The player arrives via train at the start of a new game and exits at the station.

If the player has a second Memory Card, they may use the station to visit other towns using one of two methods. If the second Memory Card has save data, the player will travel directly to the other town. If the second Memory Card does not have save data, but does have at least three free blocks, the player can use it to copy their data, such as their appearance, Bells, and items, in order to travel to a town on a third Memory Card. The player's data will be saved to the second card, which can be inserted into a GameCube with a Memory Card with save data; next, the player will enter the town on the third card. To return to their home town, the player inserts the Memory Cards containing the home town and the player's character data into a GameCube.

According to a bulletin board announcement, the Fireworks Show held on July 4th is to commemorate the opening of the train station. On Hometown Day, Tortimer gives the player a random one one of 15 Station Models, each modeled after one of the possible train station designs.

The train station contains a locker, which the player can use to access their stored items, even from a different town. Additionally, when the town's mayor begins a public works project that will be constructed on Main Street, Lloid will take donations at the station.
