Visitor to ancient city is first from train (7)

I believe the answer is:

tourist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'visitor' is the definition.
(eg someone visiting another country)

'to ancient city is first from train' is the wordplay.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'is first from train' becomes 'ist' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to'+'ur'+'ist'='TOURIST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tourist that I've seen before include "Sightseeing holidaymaker" , "Cheap travel class" , "Holiday visitor" , "Traveller for pleasure" , "Tripper, sightseer" .)
