slow train
Every-stop rail service
A slow train is one that makes many stops along its route, as opposed to an express train that runs directly between major stations.
The term can also describe a train that simply moves at a leisurely pace due to old equipment, track conditions, or low priority scheduling.
Figuratively, slow train suggests something inevitable but unhurried: There's a slow train coming and everyone can see it.
