If you want to find a fram of reference, you must choose the thing that is at rest and is not part of the system. If you are riding a train, the train and the wheels are moving with your, so these cant be used as a reference. The sky is very vast and the train track is very long, so it would be hard to use it as a reference. Hence, the answer is the station.
