Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

What station a train moves to is determined by train's schedule.

Thus, unless that station is already in the train's schedule, it cannot "summon" the train in any way.

Speaking of a hypothetical situation when there are several trains with the target station in their schedules, and the station wants to "summon" a specific one out of the bunch, it can be done with circuit network shenanigans or via wireless railway signalling.
