David Morgan's lexicon (warning: big file) suggests citatus, -a, -um for "express" in this context. His suggestions for "express train" are:

tramen* citatum, hamaxostichus* citatus

(The * indicates that it is a modern word found after AD 1400. I won't comment on which is better, since that's not really the OP's question.)

Here are some sample uses:

citato equo = "at full gallop"

citatum agmen = "rapidly marching column"

citate (adv.) = "speedily"
