Not so sure about that one.

"When he emerged from the train station, it took him a moment to orient
himself."

"When he emerged from the train station, it took him a moment to
orientate himself."

The first sounds better to me.

Yes, orient is correct though now rare.

"Orient" refers to the East.


On the other hand neither sentence sounds right to me: it's a RAILWAY
STATION

Hear hear.
