While watching ep. 9 of _Brotherhood_ , I noticed that when Winry came to
Central City railway station and started looking for someone, Izumi and her
husband were walking behind her:

After that I tried for this scene in the 2003 series, and in ep. 23 I have
found this scene where they were reading something at the Central railway
station:

So my question is: what might Izumi and her husband be doing there? Do they
usually travel like this, or might there be any sort of work they had to do
there? Is it also possible that it is an error (like they didn't want to put
those characters there)?

What was Izumi doing in the Central City railway station?


Izumi was looking for Ed and Al. She had been hearing rumors that they had
joined the State Alchemists and become dogs of the military.

In the 2003 anime we see that Izumi and Sig are talking to Mustang before Ed,
Al and Winry leave Central. At the end of Episode 26 the two have caught up to
them in Rush Valley. If I recall correctly, in the next episode Izumi reveals
that she came after them to "re-educate" her wayward students.

The Welcome to Central City poster that we see Izumi and Sig look at to me
looks like a directory of sorts. You see Izumi is looking at a list so she is
probably looking up places to search.

I would assume it's the same in Brotherhood (I can't remember exactly if their
reunion was the same) because in both series Ed has made a name for himself as
a State Alchemist and in both Izumi shows her dislike towards the military.
There is no doubt she would hear about the "State Alchemist and Hero of the
people Edward Elric".
