In TrainStation you have access to a number of different resources: Materials, Gold, Gems.

Gold
Gold  ( old icon) is used throughout TrainStation to buy items and complete contracts. Gold can be earned through sending passenger and mail wagons, leveling up, completing contracts and selling items. Gold is also used as the tax for Steam Engines. FISHHH

Gems
Gems  ( old icon) are TrainStation’s premium currency. Although TrainStation is truly playable and enjoyable without spending money, Pixel Federation must pay their employees and various administrative fees to provide a game that is worth attention. If you wish to support the game, you will receive some sweet premium stuff in return. Gems are also available from Mr. Bill, who delivers 1–3 gems to you each day, from completing contracts, from the daily login bonus and from the mini-game.

Materials
In TrainStation, materials are used to build Buildings, buy Themes and Extensions, buy Locomotives and wagons for trains, complete Contracts, complete some Achievements, and pay tax to dispatch trains. You gather materials by sending out Local Trains with Cargo Wagons, from Express Trains, and from Gifts. You may also receive materials from friends sending you International Trains and from the mini-game.
