express train
Rapid rail service
An express train is a train that makes limited stops, skipping smaller stations to reach major destinations faster.
The term distinguishes it from local trains that stop at every station: Take the express train to get downtown in twenty minutes instead of forty.
Express trains typically run on the same tracks as local service but on different schedules.
