Is the verb really the same? Is there no way to say I got on the train, but then did not ride it?

But this really can mean walk up the little steps onto the train, rather than only be on it while it is in motion?

Doesn't that mean "I'm riding the train."? How would I describe the process of stepping onto the train?

でんしゃに はいります
By the way, compartment is 車両(しゃりょう)
There can be variants like
電車の中(なか)に入ります go inside the train
電車の車両に入ります go in the train compartment

What if you were saying you yake a train to work? Would you use に twice? For example: 会社に電車に乗ります? Or would a different particle be used?
