It means that if the train is moving faster than the station, then the
train is or is not moving at all, since the station is, in effect,
going backwards. From the platform, we see it one way, from the train,
another.  All the same, it is convenient to think of the station as
stationary so that it offers a reference point. The difficult arises
when someone who is neither the station or the train has to report
back. And where does he or she stand? If 'the train is standing in the
station waiting to refuel', both the train and the station are
neverthless moving in relation to the sun, the moon, and the stars:
they are turning around galatically. Now, if they are turning around
galactically, it is possible that they are, in turn, turning upon
something else, but if they are, that something else must in turn be
turning upon another thing and so on. And we can never find the last
thing, simply because if we did there would have to be another last
thing that found that thing, and so, forth we would have to go, but it
may turn out that we are only dealing with a logical problem!

Physics relies on relational movements within the relational
university. As to gravity in physics, it is a bit like 'g' as a
postulate in IQ assessment! There is of course an assymetry as regard
the station clock- but only as regards things that are at different
speeds fromit.
