Once you've found it, this does not look hard. I think it took the fastest of us about 8-10 hours to get it. The problem was that everybody tried to decode the letters on the truck (The "station" hint only came later).
 
So, the solution is to decode the text on the door as follows:
 
It's two words, separated by "0".
 
XGJ ZWE XFP ZYP QQN XFJ QLJ XGC 
XHJ ZRP ZXA QRH XZT YMY XQE ZRZ TTK
 
Each word is composed from three letter train station codes:
XGJ: Cobourg railway station, Canada
ZWE: Antwerpen-Centraal railway station, Antwerp, Belgium
XFP: Malmö Central Station, Sweden
ZYP: Pennsylvania Station, New York City, New York, United States
QQN: Birmingham New Street railway station, Birmingham, UK
XFJ: Eskilstuna Central station, Eskilstuna, Sweden
QLJ: Lucerne railway station, Lucerne, Switzerland
XGC: Lund Central Station, Sweden
 
XHJ: Aachen Hauptbahnhof, Aachen, Germany
ZRP: Pennsylvania Station, Newark, New Jersey, United States
ZXA: Aberdeen railway station, Scotland
QRH: Rotterdam Centraal railway station, Netherlands
XZT: Trondheim Central Station, Norway
YMY: Montreal Central Station, Quebec, Canada (no longer an airport)
XQE: Ebbsfleet International railway station, Ebbsfleet Valley, UK (Eurostar)
ZRZ: New Carrollton (WMATA station), New Carrollton, Maryland, United States
TTK: Tottenham Hale station, London, United Kingdom (no airport)
 
 
The initial letters of the cities form the solution.
