What does the 'slow train coming' metaphor from the Bob Dylan song mean?

I don't know to what it refers in the USA but in the UK a slow train was one travelling between two towns but stopping at all of the stations in between. It was called £The Slow Train" because it used to take much longer than the express which would travel between the two stations non-stop The slow train was the return of Jesus Christ coming at the end of time. And as we know everything is done in GODS time not ours . Mankind has been waiting for the return of CHRIST for over 2,000 years which may only be a few minutes in GOD'S time
