The manual explains that 

** a "limited" train stops only at the locations (up to 4) named in the route, 

** an "express" train stops at named locations and also any terminals
along the route, 

** a "through" train stops at named locations, any terminals, and also any
stations, and

** a "local" train stops at named locations, any terminals, any stations,
and also any depots.  

If a train is supposed to stop at a location, but there is nothing to pick
up or drop off, it blows the whistle and keeps going.  This is an
"attention" signal since the train has been ordered to do something
"useless" and you may wish to check it out.
