から means from. In this sentence, 駅から means from the station or starting at the station.
In directions, X から is very common for the starting point:
- 家から行きます = I go from home.
- 駅からまっすぐ行って = Go straight from the station.
So から marks where the route begins.
まっすぐ can work as an adverb by itself, so まっすぐ行く is completely natural and very common. It means go straight.
You may also sometimes see まっすぐに, but in everyday speech まっすぐ is more common here.
So:
- まっすぐ行く = go straight
- まっすぐに行く = also possible, but a little more formal or stiff in some contexts
