Get down

I can easily get the train down.

What does "get down" mean?
  

Top answer

"get the train" means travel on the train. "down" means in a direction that the speaker visualises as "down". When there is no obvious difference in elevation, the directions "up" and "down" are context-dependent or arbitrary.
