"Patience is a virtue, Rarity. Just because no one has come to your aid, does not mean they won't." Her tone lacked it's usual confidence, and her ears lost their perk, drooping sadly as she waited. She had taken to pacing since her last rest, she was not accustomed to waiting so long for action to be taken. Perhaps this was more than just a mere mistake with the trains, if it were just a mistake then her friends would have been here ages ago to collect her and bring her back where she belongs.
As it stood she did not have many options. She was tempted to trot along the train tracks until they brought her to her desired location, but that was a reckless decision. First of all she didn't know which way to go and she knew if she did wander off it would only make her more lost than she already was. And second of all, she knew that the best thing to do when lost and unaware of her surroundings was to sit and wait. If one sits and waits patiently it would be easier on those who would rescue her. It was just the waiting that was difficult.
She felt herself pawing at the ground repeatedly once she stopped herself from pacing. She chewed on her bottom lip as she looked up the railway... then down it. The more she stayed here in one place thinking of these things, the more restless she became. Surely she of all ponies would have heard of a city with such a delightful name as Ruby City, she was not the most well-versed pony when it came to Equestria's lore, but she knew that much for sure... right? Could this be another plot of some long since gone evil? Perhaps he or she was attempting to separate her from her friends. United they stand, divided they fall, that was the saying... and it was especially true for her and her friends.
Exhaling with a shaky breath she shook her head. No... no she needed to stop thinking like that. She stomped at the ground, trying to steel herself. She was not going to succumb to despair just because the others were taking a tad too long. Holding her head higher than she had in the past twenty minutes, she knew what she had to do. Giving a determined look to the city before her, she slowly stepped off of the platform. If no one would come to her she would go to them. She needed some understanding of this place before she figured out what to do next, and if there was one thing Rarity was good at, it was mingling. Gathering information should be... well, it should be a piece of cake for her.

What did she have left to lose anyway?
