Answer:
The excerpt that provides the most details about the main characters' lives outside the railway station is:

"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway is a short story revolving around the conflict between the two main characters. <u>They are a couple - apparently, unmarried -, and she is pregnant.

<em><u>"He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights."</u></em>
