What is this sentence meaning?

I woke up when the train’s soporific rocking and chugging came to an abrupt halt, momentarily disorientated. I was somewhere along the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), the 3,140km-long railway that runs through northern Siberia. I was heading west, towards home.

I dont understand the first sentence (Bold). Anyone could help? Thanks.
