With or without 'out'?

When I arrived at the station,

1. I found that the train had already left.

2. I found out that the train had already left.

Could you tell me the difference between these two?

The meaning is the same. The register of 1 is a little higher than that of 2. In other words, 1 sounds a little more formal, but not much.
