The first is not generally acceptable English. You may be confusing it with "The train's arrived", where '-s' is a contraction of 'has', not 'is'.

the first pattern of the sentence is in 'passive voice' wherein somebody needs to have done something but nobody can arrive a train; but in second sentence, we have a very clear subject with us and the sentence retains its sense.!!
