You're not too dumb, poetry sometimes has a lot of ideas condensed into a few words. @avtzis.petros explains it well. The train does symbolize hope. Whenever you read a poem that doesn't quite click read it again, don't overthink but rather feel. Sometimes poems mean different things to different people too.
the train symbolizes the hope, I think with that in mind you can try a second reading, and maybe a third one as well. it is inspiring.
