night train
Rail while sleeping
A night train is a passenger train that runs overnight, typically offering sleeping accommodations for long-distance travel: We took the night train from Paris to Venice.
The term also appears in blues and soul music as a metaphor for escape, transformation, or death—the train that carries you somewhere else while the world sleeps.
