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. I'm pretty sure you're right. I think as some others think that the writers don't think as hard about these things as we do. They probably wanted a train and just put one in. They wanted a Sheriff so they put one in for a County. But what train system? What county? Storybrooke is sort of inerdimensional with a cloaking spell, so it can be bigger than anyone realizes, but then again we see the same parts of it all the time. Why no police? No staff (or her black knights), but somehow it fits likely hundreds of thosands of people..

Questions that we focus on while they just skim over, lol.
