Answer 1

You can use the System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream method:

var resource = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(
                   new Uri("textfile.txt",UriKind.Relative));

should do the trick

Answer 2

try this:

var resource = Application.GetResourceStream(
                               new Uri(@"/YOURASSEMBLYNAME;component/Stations.txt", 
                               UriKind.Relative));

StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(resource.Stream);

string x = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

That should work for you.
