Additional stop includes the MD Anderson Train Station across from the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

You may board the train at any stop and ride to Kinder Station in Lake Plaza, where all riders must exit. Those who boarded at a stop should buy a ticket at Kinder Station and may get back on the train to ride back to the stop where they originally boarded if they wish.
