English translation:The big screen that shows the train numbers
Explanation:
The big screen that shows the train numbers
应该是指火车站的显示屏吧,现在都是动车高铁这样的高价车,所以说“坐过的火车都不见”,平价的车次都没了,只能买高价车,赚的辛苦钱就这样花掉了。

large cap stock index


Explanation:
In the absence of any supplementary element of context, I would understand this sentence as meaning "reading the news about the large cap stock index to the point of dizziness, not even seeing/noticing the train (one)'s been travelling on".

agree  Duobing Chen: 这里指的应该是股票大盘指数看不懂,晕头转向,但“坐过的火车”我想应该是股票涨跌导致自己像是坐过山车,只是已经没有踪迹可循了。
