1. For events located at the same point in the train frame (ticks of a
train clock, for instance), the time interval delta t' (as measured by
the train observer) is less than the time interval delta t (the temporal
separation of the same events measured in the station frame).

Perhaps "events located at the same point in the train frame (ticks of a
train clock, for instance)" is not a well defined concept. There are processes in the
clock developing in different directions and Lorentz equations predict different time
changes for them. The problem can be resolved by assuming, in accordance with alledged
experimental evidence, that ALL processes in the train frame obey t' = (1 / gamma)*t.
