local train
Stops at all
A local train stops at every station along its route, as opposed to an express train that skips smaller stops.
The term applies to commuter rail and subway systems where some trains run express: Take the local—the express doesn't stop at 23rd Street.
Local trains are slower but serve more destinations.
