You're assuming the train has to function outside of Storybrooke, tho, and that's not where I was taking it in my headcanon XD

To me, the train is totally reasonable, and it went in my head like this (During the Dark Curse):


 * According to what the citizens believe, supplies are delivered to the town via train. This is normal, real life stuff, and since Storybrooke is meant to be just like a real town, it makes sense.
 * All the train would actually need to do is "arrive" in town on a regular schedule. It could be on a loop that never leaves the bounds of the town, that no citizen would notice because they never leave. Supplies could appear on it magically every Tuesday, travel to the station with a projection for a conductor, and get unloaded and then "leave".

am I over thinking that? Probably XD Storybrooke is a big place (Graham was sheriff of Storybrooke county, after all. I don't buy that it's just some tiny town, but that's me) I just love thinking about how things worked during Regina's curse.
