Connecting to these preexisting train tracks is the only way to connect your trains to the outside. As you buy more squares to build on, you do, as others have mentioned, have to look for those train tracks in the squares you buy. Thus they don't give you outside train connections at the start. This is because they want you to unlock any and all use of trains later, as you gain population. The starting square does not connect to the pre-built train tracks. To connect a train to the outside, build off the preexisting train tracks. To connect a road to the outside, build off the preexisting highway. You can build off them and delete them like any other road or train track, but what makes them special is they are there before you start your game-you're not building them yourself-and they run off the edges of the map, beyond any squares you may unlock as you play the game. Instead, every map has highways and train tracks already running through the maps before you start. Since the way the game works is that you buy extra squares on the map as time goes on (as you know), the edges of each square become unimportant as you buy the bordering squares, so those edges hold no special power to connect to the outside world (other than your starting square's highway connection-I'll get to that).

Looking for something on the edge of the each sqaure in the map is the wrong thing to look for.

You now understand how to find the train connection, but I thought this might be useful if you were wondering why the connections work/look the way they do:
