@NNC
The sentence looks terrible to me, but I'd like to have a native's opinion.
to my mind : "started" is awkward for a train. Using present continuous here is groundless too.

qdii, can it be good said like "My train left at six and arrived at ten"?

To me it looks way better, but I'm not a native English speaker.

i can modify it as i proposed, while i'll wait some native speaker to check it

If you're sure that the translation from japan and russian still fits, feel free to :)
