I'm assuming this was inspired by AMC's The Walking Dead. Which is wonderful, because I love that show like you would not believe.
You had quite a few technical errors, and your sentence structure was slightly poor. I feel some parts didn't necessarily flow easily, and you could've used better word choice in some parts as well. You varied with your tenses, which also added to some confusion when reading your piece. Perhaps you should have someone peer edit your story before you post it, it would make everything so much better.
Despite those factors, it's a promising piece. Has so much potential, and you know exactly how to portray high-anxiety scenes. You know how to build suspense, and catch the reader off guard. So far, I like the feel of this, and I'm anxious to see how it's going to turn out.
To answer your questions, she should be running to a hospital to search for supplies. Heading to the trains would be incredibly unwise, especially if she were wanting to turn them on; too much noise, it would cause an uproar of walkers. Granted, the hospital may also be full of walkers, but at least there's rooms in there in which she could barricade herself if any happen to approach, or bombard her.
I'm interested to see where you take this story. =)
I like The Walking Dead (the show), so I'm guessing you got the idea from there?
Anyway the story was really good. I LOVE Zombies. My profile is full of it. The only turn off is the fact that a lot of things were misspelled. Some words you forgot an extra letter, others aren't capitalized correctly. But aside from that I enjoyed it. I think she should turn on the trains...just saying.
