The train station played major roles in the ''[[Ponyville Days]]'' and ''[[Accord (storyline)|Accord]]'' storylines.
 
A little bit before the formal starting of the "[[Ponyville Days (event)|Ponyville Days]]" celebration, {{IDW|Twilight Sparkle}} and {{IDW|Spike}} boarded the train to [[Canterlot]]. By the time they came back, the town was in complete chaos due to a rift forged when ponies couldn't agree whether or not the [[Rich family]] or [[Apple family]] truly started Ponyville.<ref>{{C|FIM|30}}</ref><ref>{{C|FIM|31}}</ref>

During the second wave of [[Cosmos's reign of terror]], the Twilight Sparkle, again possessed, traveled from the Train Station into Canterlot.<ref>{{C|FIM|60}} - ''The Stars on Our Ponies''</ref>
 
{{OEL|Twilight Sparkle}} was supposed to meet with {{OEL|Princess Celestia}} at the station, but due to a spell going haywire, she and {{OEL|Spike}} were turned into stone, so {{OEL|Pinkie Pie}} met with her instead. At first she was stressed, bugging a [[Newspaper Reader]] in the process. When Celestia did come around, the two had a great time playing games, pranks on Twilight by putting hats and mustaches on her stone body, and having a girls night out. When Celestia did leave, once again at the station, she burst into laughter when she saw Twilight running up to her urgently, still with the mustaches on her person.<ref>''[[A Day in the Life of Equestria volume 1]]'' - "[[A Day in the Life of Equestria volum 1 chapter 2|Pinkie Pie]]"</ref>

The train station appears in every version of the [[Friendship is Magic theme song|''Friendship is Magic'' theme song]] and serves as among the most recurring landmarks in all of Ponyville, and is arguably the most important structure in the town aside from their residences of the [[Mane Six]] and related characters. This is likely because trains in ''Friendship is Magic'' serve such a major purpose, given they're the primary form of long-form transportation in [[Equestria]], despite the fact that [[car]]s and [[plane]]s exist.
