Estar como un tren
To be extremely attractive
La nueva del curro está como un tren, te lo juro.
You and your friends see someone walk into a bar and one of you whispers it immediately.
Literally "to be like a train."
In practice it means someone is extremely attractive, usually physically (like "smoking hot"). It's very Spain-coded and sounds casual, a bit cheeky, and often used about celebrities or someone you've just seen. Depending on the context, it can feel objectifying, so tone and situation matter.
"Estar como un tren" does not mean to be very punctual, to travel constantly, to be moving fast like a train. It specifically means "To be extremely attractive".
