On random days between 9am and 6pm, a train can pass through the area. If the player is outdoors, a message will pop up saying "A train is passing through Stardew Valley" accompanied by a train whistle sound.

==Foraging==
[[File:RailroadForageLocations.png|thumb|right|300px|Locations at the Railroad where forageable items can spawn.]]
[[Foraging|Forageable]] items found on the ground in the Railroad are:<ref name="forage_chance" />
* In [[Spring]]: {{name|Daffodil|class=inline}} (45%), {{name|Dandelion|class=inline}} (35%), and {{name|Leek|class=inline}} (20%)
* In [[Summer]]: {{name|Sweet Pea|class=inline}} (47%), {{name|Spice Berry|class=inline}} (27%), and {{name|Grape|class=inline}} (27%)
* In [[Fall]]: {{name|Wild Plum|class=inline}} (37%), {{name|Blackberry|class=inline}} (37%), and {{name|Hazelnut|class=inline}} (25%)
* In [[Winter]]: {{name|Crystal Fruit|class=inline}} (50%), and {{name|Crocus|class=inline}} (50%)
There are only 31 locations where forageable items can spawn, and initially they are mostly covered by [[weeds]], sticks, and rocks. Once the debris is cleared, items can spawn at an average rate of 0.1 per night.<ref name="forage_spawn"/> The map shows the possible locations as red and magenta tiles; when the original trees are present, the magenta tiles have a 90% smaller chance of spawning items because they are identified as being behind the original trees.
==Artifact Spots==
The only [[Artifacts|Artifact]] that can be found by digging up [[Artifact Spot]]s at the Railroad is:
* {{name|Prehistoric Tibia|class=inline}} (4-8%<ref name="artifact_extra" />)
Other possible items are:
* 1-3 {{name|Clay|class=inline}} (19-37%<ref name="artifact_extra" />)
* {{name|Lost Book|class=inline}} (20% + 6-12%<ref name="artifact_extra" />); once all Lost Books have been found, any potential Lost Book is replaced by {{name|Mixed Seeds|class=inline}}.
* Only in [[Winter]]: {{name|Winter Root|class=inline}} (24%)
* Only in [[Winter]]: {{name|Snow Yam|class=inline}} (16%)
* 1-3 {{name|Stone|class=inline}} (6-12%<ref name="artifact_extra" />)
* 1-3 {{name|Copper Ore|class=inline}} (5-11%<ref name="artifact_extra" />)
* Only in [[Spring]]: 2-5 {{name|Rice Shoot|class=inline}}s (5%)
* An unseen {{name|Secret Note|class=inline}}: up to 3% chance, only if the player has a [[Magnifying Glass]].
Artifact spots spawn at an average rate of 0.25 per night, except in winter when the average rate increases to 0.4 per night.<ref name="artifact_spawn" />
==Villager Paths==
[[File:Pathing-Railroad.png|thumb|right|[[Villager Paths]] at the Railroad]]
Most of the railroad map is [[Villager Paths|safe]] from [[villager]]s destroying items placed on the map. However, four villagers do enter the area:
* [[Abigail]] stands in front of the train platform most days in [[Summer]] (not on Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday).
* [[Alex]] visits the Spa most days in [[Winter]].
* [[Linus]] stands next to the Spa all non-rainy days in [[Fall]]; he enters the Spa every day in [[Winter]].
* [[Sebastian]] walks the length of the train tracks on Thursdays.
